(Scene: Fifth Holy Grail War Timeline - Emiya Residence)
Illya's arrival was indeed beyond the expectations of Emiya Shirou and Artoria.
When Illya expressed her desire to help Emiya Shirou, he was very shocked.
However, after a brief exchange, Emiya Shirou understood the reason why the Illya on the screen would attack him.
At this moment, he looked at the little person in front of him, and there was only pity in his eyes.
After all, strictly speaking, Illya is his adopted sister.
However, suddenly having a sister made Emiya Shirou feel a bit at a loss.
But he did have many things about Kiritsugu Emiya to ask Illya. However, new changes appeared on the screen at that moment, forcing him to return his gaze to it.
[The midnight clock struck twelve, and the world was swallowed by silence.]
[Artoria stood in the center of the courtyard, looking up at the sky.]
["If you don't want to fight, it's okay. I am willing to become your sword, Shirou. Your innocence makes me feel troubled."]
[With a slight clang sound, Saber instantly completed her arming with extraordinary magical energy. The silver-white knight's armor fitted her body closely. She reached out her hand and grasped, and the invisible holy sword was firmly held in her hand.]
[Dark clouds covered the night sky. Saber leaped and easily flew over the roof and wall.]
[Then, she rushed through the darkness, through the sleeping streets, heading straight for Ryūdō Temple.]
[As soon as she entered the area of Mount Enzō, Saber stepped onto the stone steps and pursed her lips: "Here..."]
["Yes, the land has been polluted!"]
[Despite this, Saber showed no fear, and her speed did not slow down at all. She rushed up the long stone steps like an arrow from a bow.]
[Finally, when the mountain gate was in sight, an obstacle appeared. Under the moonlight, a man stood elegantly, as if blending into the night.]
[Live Chat/Comments]
[Mordred]: I knew my father wouldn't just sit there and wait!
[Bedivere]: After all, not taking action in this situation when you already know the enemy's location is truly inconsistent with the King's style.
[Waver Velvet]: But isn't this too risky? Although Saber's strength is indeed very strong, going to the enemy's base alone is asking for trouble.
[Morgan]: After knowing the location of the evil dragon, there is only one thing to consider: slay the dragon!
(The screen continued to flicker.)
[After a brief exchange, Sasaki Kojirō took a step forward and pointed his sword at Saber.]
["A duel, Saber! Let me see your sword skills, said to be second to none among Servants!"]
[The next second, in a flash of silver light, the two were already fighting together.]
[Hard and soft, Saber and Assassin, two swordsmen with completely different fighting styles, clashed fiercely under the moonlight.]
[The camera suddenly shifts. Emiya Shirou sits up in the shed, holding his chest with his hands, frowning.]
["What's wrong? My chest hurts."]
[Shirou almost instinctively gets up, walks into the mansion, and comes to the door of Saber's room.]
["Saber, are you there?"]
[Emiya Shirou opens the door but finds the room empty; Artoria's figure has disappeared.]
["She's not here. That guy, didn't she... go to Ryūdō Temple alone? Damn it, why! Her body hasn't fully recovered yet!"]
[Shirou, anxious, rushes out of the courtyard.]

Emiya Shirou looked at the scene on the screen and looked at Saber with a very unhappy expression.
"Saber, we agreed not to go, but you went there without permission."
"And you weren't in good condition at that time. If you went directly, there was a high probability something would happen!"
There was a hint of criticism in Emiya Shirou's voice.
Artoria admitted her mistake immediately, but whether she would still do it when the time came remained unknown.
(The screen continued to flicker.)
[The camera then switched back to the gate of Ryūdō Temple, where Saber and Assassin were fighting fiercely, their blades intersecting, sparks flying.]
[Although they had fought for dozens of rounds, the positions of the two had hardly changed. Assassin, standing on the stone steps, was as steady as a rock, not moving a step; and Saber, who wanted to rush up the steps, could not advance an inch, wasting her energy and time in vain.]
["Haa——" Saber rushed forward again and slashed towards Assassin's forehead.]
[However, at that moment, Sasaki suddenly smiled, then simply took a step back and easily avoided the attack.]
["Okay, now I can see it by eye. The blade is more than three feet long and about four inches wide. The shape... Just like your name, it is a typical Western sword," Sasaki's casual words surprised Saber.]
["I can't believe you can deduce my sword without using anything and without even a real fight?"]
["This is just a little street trick. Because I am an evil swordsman, I am only good at this kind of skill. Next, Saber, it's about time for you to stop hiding your strength, right?"]
["You still won't show your sword? Well, since you are reluctant to use it, I will show you my secret sword first!"]
[After saying this, Sasaki smiled and walked to the stone steps on the same level as Saber. This surprised Saber even more, because Assassin's long sword is too fragile. Only by standing in a favorable position above can the long sword be prevented from breaking. Now that the two are standing on the same step, Sasaki will no longer have any advantage.]
["Raise your sword, otherwise you will die, Saber!" Assassin said lightly, and then took the lead in readying his stance.]
[The next second, the sword light was sharp!]
["Secret Technique: Swallow Reversal (Tsubame Gaeshi)!"]
[Live Chat/Comments]
[Miyamoto Musashi]: As expected of Kojirō. Not only is his bushido spirit admirable, but this swordsmanship is also becoming more and more perfect.
[Iskandar]: Hahahaha, I like this guy's personality. If possible, I'd really want him to conquer the world with me.
[Emiya Kiritsugu]: Shirou's magical energy isn't enough, and Saber's injuries haven't healed yet. I always feel something will happen this time!
