To be king and magician

Eh?

Stretching out his hand to touch his shoulder, Xia Chuanhu screamed after seeing the bright red palm and the red-stained shoulder: "Uh...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahh!!"

It hurts, it really hurts, as if the shoulder was pierced by something!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Leaning against the wall and clutching his shoulders tightly, Xia Chuanhu gasped continuously as if lacking oxygen, desperately trying to calm down his chaotic brain.

This feeling, is it a sniper?But from where?The location of the flash just now...

(The window on the second floor of the house across the street! Only there! And sniping—Emiya Kiritsugu!)

At this moment, Xia Chuanhu understood why Morgan sent him here.

Master against master, servant against servant, let Morgan and Lancelot deal with Arthur, while Natsukawa Tiger is dealt with by Emiya Kiritsugu himself. From the result, this is almost a victory situation!

Because it is impossible for Emiya Kiritsugu to lose against Kami Natsukawa Tor, especially when Natsukawa Torora has revealed his position and Emiya Kiritsugu is in the dark.And once Xia Chuanhu died, Arthur would naturally have to return to the Seat of Heroes. Morgan and Lancelot didn't even need to defeat Arthur, as long as they delayed until Xia Chuanhu was killed.

(It's really... a good plan...)

In a sense, this is a conspiracy. If Xia Chuanhu insisted on running away, this plan would not have taken effect, but Xia Chuanhu did not escape this time, or——

.......

(Just as Caster thought, he was a young man with a stunned head.)

In a certain room, Emiya Kiritsugu thought of looking at Natsukawatora in the scope.

Being found fault again and again, the superiors will take the initiative to fight, and the defense line that would not have been flawed will also be flawed because of this-Morgan's grasp of human nature made Emiya Kiritsugu shudder again.

As long as it is a teenager of normal age, he will feel angry after being picked on many times, and after he has a strong backer, he will try to find his way back.No matter in which era, this common problem of young people will not change.

(The shoulder has already been shot through. Unfortunately, this position cannot hit the brain with one blow, otherwise it will be over. But it doesn't matter, the rest is just a matter of time.)

Staring at Natsukawatora in the scope, Emiya Kiritsugu put his finger on the trigger.

(Come on, Xia Chuanhu, when you leave there, it will be your death.)

————————————————————————————

(Emiya Kiritsugu is definitely staring at me from somewhere!)

Xia Chuanhu thought as he pressed against the wall tightly.

(Except for the initial shot, there was no follow-up attack... Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't possibly have a problem, that means it wasn't him who caused him not to attack, but me , my actions made it impossible for him to guarantee a one-hit kill against me.)

In other words, Xia Chuantora's current position is a position where Emiya Kiritsugu cannot kill him, as long as he stays here, then he is safe - on the premise that Emiya Kiritsugu will not move to a position where he can be shot and killed his place.

(But at least, I absolutely can't leave here now, as long as Arthur's side is resolved, and he comes to rescue me.)

Feeling the continuous loss of magic power in his body, Xia Chuanhu knew that there was an extremely fierce battle going on on Arthur's side. Out of his trust in Arthur, Xia Chuanhu didn't think that Arthur would lose at all.

Lancelot and Morgan are strong, but his Arthur is not the idiot king, but the Holy Sword of the Stars who can fight against the opponent's treasure. Arthur will lose this kind of thing, never None of them were within the scope of Xia Chuanhu's consideration.

"The next thing is to wait...?"

Covering his shoulders, and grinning again in pain, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's really the first time I've suffered such a serious injury...but...that's right, maybe this is the reason. Is it normal in the Holy Grail War?"

Because Arthur is always by his side, and he is always there to protect him when he encounters danger, so Xia Chuanhu doesn't have much real feeling for the Holy Grail War. In addition, he has been trying to stay away from the center of the war. It's just an impression.

But now, he uses his body to turn [impression] into [experience].

"This is what I look like when Arthur isn't around..."

Xia Chuanhu raised his hand to look at the Command Seal on the back of his hand. The Command Seal, which looked like the Millennium Eye, seemed to have life, making him feel like he was being watched.

(Speaking of which, if you use Command Seals, you should be able to call Arthur over right away, right?)

This is feasible, the command spell is the absolute command right to the servant, as long as it is used, even the magic of space transfer can be realized.

Shall I call Arthur over?In that case, I can definitely leave here immediately and return to a safe place.

Yes, just use the command spell.

"Using the command spell—"

[Is this all right? 】

As if another self was talking in his mind, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help asking himself just now.

Is that all right?Call Arthur to protect himself, and continue to stand behind him, is that all right?

Normally, yes.Standing behind a servant is what a master should do, so is it possible to run out from behind a servant and be tough with other servants?Not everyone is Emiya Shirou, the most Xia Chuanhu can do is magic eye support.

Therefore, if the master is attacked, it is absolutely no problem to summon the servants at the first time. No one will say that he is ashamed, and no one will blame him. There is nothing wrong with what he does.

Except for his own sensibility.

[Since your previous masters were all such excellent guys, I can't be worse than them. Even if I can't support you in the Holy Grail War, I can't hold you back] ——Last night, Xia Chuanhu was so right As Arthur said, he also designed to become Kenneth's student for this reason, and chose to become a magician for this reason.

In order not to become a burden, in order not to hold him back, in order to be able to fight side by side with him, in order to... be able to live with him to the end.

"Sure enough...no way."

Lowering his hand, Xia Chuanhu let out a heavy breath.

Can no longer rely on Arthur.

Arthur has Arthur's battle, and now he is fighting desperately for himself. As his master, what Xia Chuanhu has to do is not to disturb him, but to support him, so that he can fight without any worries !

For this reason, he cannot escape from this Master's battlefield now!The place where he should be is not behind Arthur, but the battlefield called [Master of the Holy Grail War]!

He can't, and won't continue to escape!

37. Faster than death behind you

1 minute passed in an instant.

Crouching by the window like a statue, looking through the scope at the place where Natsukawa Tiger is hidden, Emiya Kiritsugu put his fingers on the trigger, and then let go, repeating countless times.

In the room where there was no one else but him, only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat was extremely clear.

Now it's a competition about endurance. If he is shot in the shoulder, if he doesn't deal with it in time, just bleeding can kill Xia Chuanhu, and he is just an ordinary person. He can't deal with it in an emergency. As long as Kiritsugu stared at him, Xia Chuantora would die from excessive blood loss in a short time.

The only one who can affect or even subvert the status quo is Saber, and there are Morgan and Lancelot who can hold him back.

In fact, Xia Chuantora was at his wit's end, when he was unable to continue standing due to excessive blood loss and fell down from behind the wall to expose his body, even if it wasn't his head, Emiya Kiritsugu would pull the trigger without hesitation.

Come on, let's see how long you can endure, how long you can continue to hold on, Xia Chuanhu.

"—!"

At this moment, suddenly, a figure flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's field of vision!

Without any time to think, the finger suddenly squeezed the trigger, and the bullet burst out of the barrel in an instant!After breaking through the glass, it shot straight at that person!

However, a scene that made Emiya Kiritsugu unbelievable happened.

"Snapped!"

The bullet hit the wall.

The figure dodged the bullet directly!

(how is this possible?)

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the figure again, it was Natsu Chuantora, but why?

(Proactively revealing your location? Stupid!)

Aiming at Natsukawa Tiger again, Emiya Kiritsugu sank down and pulled the trigger again to fire the bullet, but at the moment the bullet ejected from the chamber, through the scope, Emiya Kiritsugu clearly saw the unimaginable scene!

Almost at the same time as he pulled the trigger, Xia Chuanhu obviously made an evasive movement!Although he looked very embarrassed and the adjustment of the center of gravity was completely pointless, he did dodge the bullet at the moment the bullet was fired!

how can that be?This distance is not even 100 meters, how can humans avoid bullets?Unless he already knew where the bullet was going to go.

"Could it be - Future Vision?"

The information provided by Morgan did contain information about Xia Chuanhu holding a magic eye, but because there is too little information, it is not possible to determine what type of magic eye it is, and judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the future can be foreseen Future Vision!

"Tch, this way the sniping will be useless."

Curling his lips, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly put away the sniper rifle, unpacked it and put it in a box, and took out two pistols from another box.

Long-distance sniping is no longer feasible, and the future vision will save his life countless times, but if it is a close combat with an overwhelming strength gap, then even with the future vision, Emiya Kiritsugu does not feel that he will lose to a ordinary students.

(Judging from the direction he was running just now, he should be coming towards me, so——)

After confirming the next plan, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly took his weapon and left the house.

————————————————————————

corner of the street.

"Haa.....ha...ha...."

Panting heavily while holding on to the telegraph pole, Xia Chuanhu glanced at his bleeding shoulder, and sighed heavily: "Phew~~~ I really haven't been exercising, I'm so tired after only a few hundred meters ...But it looks like the sniping has stopped?"

From the looks of it, he succeeded in betting his life.

Emiya Kiritsugu's guess was completely wrong, Xia Chuanhu had no future vision at all, and he had no idea where the bullet would come from, the reason why he was able to dodge the bullet just now was purely because he was gambling.

Xia Chuantora really didn't know where the bullet would come from, but he knew where the bullet would go - no matter where he was, Emiya Kiritsugu's bullet would only be fired for one purpose, and that was to kill the target.So in fact, the drop point of the bullet is determined.

That is himself.

Therefore, as long as he can dodge when he thinks he can dodge, he doesn't need to predict the bullet's landing point, nor does he need to predict the time when the bullet will be fired. He puts all chips on his intuition, and then fights Run as hard as you can!

Fortunately, he was right.

"Two sniper shots... Hahaha, I probably used up all my luck in this few tens of seconds."

Dodging two bullets in a row is no longer luck, but a real gamble on longevity. If life can be expressed numerically, Xia Chuanhu can be sure that he will lose decades of life in one fell swoop!

But no matter what, after avoiding the sniping, the rest is simple.

Meet Emiya Kiritsugu, and then stare at him fiercely with these demonic eyes!Unlike the servants, if it is a human soul, Xia Chuanhu is confident that it will be completely eroded within a second or two!

The moment I meet him is the moment when the battle between the Masters will be decided!

"boom----!"

A gunshot rang out suddenly, and Xia Chuanhu's thigh was shot through without warning!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......."
