Chapter 164 - Chapter 164: Getting By with Lies

"Phew~~" After quite a while, Tohsaka Rin used her magic to restore her neighborhood from ruins. Then she breathed a heavy sigh, went home, and collapsed on her bed, not wanting to move. "Okay, now you're going to tell me everything."

Tohsaka Rin's voice came from the bed.

"Alright," Red A sighed and took out the ruby necklace, a unique heirloom of the Tohsaka family.

"That is..." Tohsaka Rin looked up and saw it in Red A's hand. She immediately sat up and rummaged for her own necklace. "How is this possible! You have one too! Aren't you a Servant? You..."

"In a normal world, Emiya Shirou would have been killed by Cu Chulainn there. Then you would have saved him with this, and he would have picked up the necklace, treasured it, and carried it with him," Red A said. "Do you understand?"

"Huh?" Tohsaka Rin was stunned by Red A's words. Then she realized, "You you you... you're Emiya!"

At this time, Tohsaka Rin and Red A hadn't known each other for long. They weren't as mature as they would be in the UBW timeline, after experiencing more battles together. So, at this moment, Tohsaka Rin was shocked by Red A's words.

"I see... now that I think about it, isn't this obvious? You're an Archer, but you can easily make weapons and fight in close combat, so he must be able to as well," Tohsaka Rin said. "But you said if the world were normal... so the fact that he wasn't killed by Cu Chulainn means the world isn't normal?"

"Sigh~~" Red A nodded. "Originally, I didn't want to tell you all this so early. But this Fifth Holy Grail War is too different from what I know. Especially that battle; it was already noticed by ordinary people. But the Holy Church didn't seem to care. In fact, the Holy Church's supervisor herself caused such a commotion. If you don't act quickly to erase people's memories and make them forget what just happened, the existence of magic will be exposed tomorrow morning. So..."

"What!" Tohsaka Rin heard Red A's words, and her already tired body immediately perked up. "That's right! That new supervisor, Karen, said she was Kotomine Kirei's daughter. She's probably here to cause trouble! This is my territory! How can I allow that Holy Church guy to mess around like that!"

Tohsaka Rin said, stood up angrily, and left the house full of energy.

"Hey! Archer! Take me to the highest place. I'm going to use a big magic to make everyone in the city forget about tonight and think it was a gas explosion!" Tohsaka Rin shouted at Red A.

"Yes, yes..." Red A sighed and left with Tohsaka Rin.

Tia was taken home by Emiya Kiritsugu. It was a place that Tia knew well yet felt unfamiliar with. After all, Tia had never lived there herself, but she knew it well.

Back in the living room, Irisviel directly said to Illya, "Illya, Mom will take you around."

"Okay," Illya nodded.

Tia and Emiya Kiritsugu sat together in the living room, and Lancelot sat to one side.

As for Heracles, he turned into a spirit form.

"Shirou, I don't know when you started having that power. I don't think I've ever seen you practice it," Emiya Kiritsugu said.

"Actually, I got this special ability from Lancelot," Tia said without hesitation. This was what Tia and Lancelot had discussed beforehand.

One of Lancelot's Noble Phantasms, Knight of Owner, is a very powerful ability. Of course, this is now a well-known ability. When Tia was learning magic from Emiya Kiritsugu, she became quite sensitive to various Noble Phantasms because of Lancelot. As long as she fought with Lancelot and Lancelot took control of a Noble Phantasm, Tia could make it herself.

This is what Tia and Lancelot agreed on.

As for Medea's Noble Phantasm...

Anyway, Medea was one of the enemy's people, and she had already been defeated. So Tia and Lancelot just made up a reason, saying that they had encountered Medea alone and snatched the staff from her. That's why the Medea standing on the hundred-headed dragon didn't have a staff before.

As for why Medea didn't summon the dragon when Tia and Lancelot met her alone, it was because Medea didn't know that Tia was one of the Masters left over from the Fourth War. She thought Tia was just an irrelevant person, so she didn't care.

But Tia and Lancelot recognized Medea as a Servant, so they paid attention to her and even fought with her.

Medea didn't even have time to summon the dragon at first. She could only use magic with her staff. So Lancelot easily got close to her and took the staff.

Lancelot originally planned to force Medea to reveal her Master's identity. But Medea used teleportation to escape.

"I see, no wonder Medea appeared riding a dragon and Lancelot immediately came back. He was worried that Medea would suddenly attack Tia? Speaking of which, Medea's arrival on the dragon immediately drew your attention," Emiya Kiritsugu said after hearing Tia's story, automatically filling in the various details.

This made Tia and Lancelot breathe a sigh of relief. They had finally gotten away with their lie.

In short, Tia and Lancelot didn't want to reveal their identities so easily. It would be too troublesome to explain. And this world hasn't involved anything related to Chaldea yet, so they didn't want to disrupt this world's development.

The only thing they were worried about was Sieg.

At this time, Sieg was brought back by Heracles. So naturally, Heracles brought him back here personally.

Tia also had the opportunity to see Sieg.

At this time, Sieg was lying alone on the ground in the yard. No one helped him with a blanket or anything. After all, he was the dragon.

Irisviel, Illya, and Heracles had already toured the entire mansion and were now standing in front of Sieg.

Tia also came to Sieg's front, and her eyebrows furrowed without her realizing it.

"Shirou, do you know him?" Illya asked directly.
