"Wow... Kuro wants cola, Yoshino wants oolong tea, and Master wants coffee..."

As they walked, Illya counted on her fingers, carefully recalling the drinks that others had ordered, while Kurumi walked beside her, looking around.

"I remember there seemed to be a vending machine here before..."

"Ah! Over there!"

At this time, Illya shouted and pointed to a red vending machine in an alley not far away. Before Kuang San could say anything, Illya happily trotted to the vending machine, and just as Illya stretched out her hand to press the button, suddenly a person came over from the side, came to the vending machine carelessly, stretched out his hand... Then, the two people bumped into each other.

"Oh, sorry..."

While apologizing, Illya stepped back, and the other party waved his hand.

"Ah, nothing, sorry..."

However, neither of them finished their words, and the next moment, both of them just stood there in a daze.

The girl who appeared in front of Illya was a petite girl wearing a cool coat and shorts, with long golden hair tied up in a ponytail. She looked quite energetic. But the problem was not here, but the identity of the other party... She was a Servant.

And he is a servant of the Red Faction.

Is it such a coincidence?

Illya couldn't help but take a step back, sweating. Illya was in the ASSASSIN mode. Logically speaking, with the ASSASSIN's "breath shielding", the other party would never be able to find out that she was a Servant. But the problem was that even the "breath shielding" had its limits, not to mention that Illya was not a spirit, but a physical entity. Even if she couldn't be detected at a certain distance, but the two sides had touched each other, it would be too stupid if they hadn't discovered each other's identity.

“Oh…”

Sure enough, looking at Illya in front of her, the blonde girl smiled.

"I never thought that I would encounter the enemy here. Sorry, little girl, it seems that your luck is very bad..."

Oops!

After all, Illya is a magical girl who has experienced many battles. When she heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong. So Illya quickly turned around and shouted to Kuang San who was not far behind her.

"Sister Kuang San, go find——!"

"boom!"

Before Illya finished her words, a long sword suddenly appeared out of thin air and chopped down at her. With a roar, the scattered dust immediately covered the entire alley. The next moment, Illya leaped out of the smoke and dust. At this moment, she had returned to her previous ASSASSIN outfit, holding two short swords in her hands, staring vigilantly at the front.

When the smoke cleared, the blonde girl who had been standing there had turned into a knight whose entire body, including her head, was covered in armor. She raised the sword in her hand, and her sharp aura locked onto Illya in front of her.

"Hey, Saber! What happened? Didn't you say not to get into conflicts casually?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses ran over from the other side. When the knight saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, he snorted.

"I'm sorry, Master. It's a rare opportunity to see weak prey, so I couldn't help but want to take action."

"What?"

After hearing Red Saber's answer, the man glanced over here and saw Illya standing in front of Kurumi.

"Is such a young child also a Heroic Spirit?"

"That's right. And you don't look like a CASTER, nor a RIDER. You should be an ASSASSIN. What a pity! I don't know why you appear in this form, but since you have appeared in front of me, there is only one way to go, and that is death! Die!"

Before she finished her words, Illya saw the red Saber suddenly leap up, and the whole person seemed to turn into a red lightning and rushed towards her. At the same time, Illya also hurriedly dodged backwards, and saw the whistling sword energy flash past her, leaving a deep crack on the ground.

"Hey, if you want to fight, go fight where there's no one around, sir!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man sighed and scratched his hair. Although it is reasonable to stay away from the crowd at this time, as Saber said, it would be a waste if we don't seize such a good opportunity. As for the follow-up problems here... let Qianjieshu's group worry about it!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man reached into his arms and took out a shotgun with a sawed-off barrel, staring coldly at the black-haired girl with asymmetrical twin ponytails standing not far away. If he guessed correctly, it should be the MASTER.

Although the man looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, as a magician killer, he was a veteran. Such scenes might be a little cruel to him, but he was used to it. When the girl saw him take out the gun, she was surprised and turned around to flee to the other side as if she was startled.

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being the MASTER!

Seeing the girl turn around and run away, the middle-aged man didn't hesitate at all. He just gripped his weapon tightly and chased after her.

The sword wind whistles.

Illya leaped down from the city wall and landed on the ground steadily like a cat, but before she could stand up, the red sword light fell from the sky like thunder and stabbed straight at her.

"boom!"

“Wow!!”

With a scream, Illya covered her head and moved to the other side to avoid the attack. However, although she avoided the attack, she was now stuck in a dead end. There were no roads around her, only high walls blocking her way.

"That's really ugly. Because it's an assault, you're just going to dodge?"

Along with this voice, the figure of Red Saber appeared in front of Illya, blocking her retreat.

“Woo…”

Hearing Red Saber's ridicule, Illya didn't know what to say for a moment. Although the Assassin she transformed into had double the damage to women, the attribute of the Heroic Spirit of "Dream Summoning" would be lower than the original one, and the strength of the Servant in front of her was quite strong, so even with the bonus "to women", it was difficult for Illya to hurt her.

If there is ARCHER... then with the help of [Class Restraint], maybe I can still fight her... Really, where is that guy Xiao Hei at this time!

Just when Illya was extremely distressed, Red Saber raised the sword in her hand again.

"Prepare to die, little girl!"

Along with these words that sounded like the last judgment, Red Saber instantly exploded, came in front of Illya, raised the long sword in her hand high, and slashed hard at Illya in front of her.

There is no way!

Looking at the shining sword light in front of her, Illya gritted her teeth, and then shining golden light appeared on her body at the same time.

"clang!!"

The sword swung by Red Saber failed to cut into Illya's petite and weak body. On the contrary, her attack was blocked with a crash. The ground in front of her sank downwards due to the impact, and the surrounding walls began to crack and shatter due to the air waves generated by the impact.

"This is?"

Seeing this scene, Red Saber was obviously shocked. It was not only because the weak-looking little girl blocked her attack, but also because Illya in front of her was dressed completely differently from before. The black tights she originally wore were gone, replaced by a white dress armor with a pink base and black edges, which looked light and fluttering. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a black ribbon. At the same time, Illya raised her hands, and a long sword appeared in her hands, blocking Red Saber's attack.

"Hahaha, how funny! I didn't expect that a little guy like you would actually have such a personality. As expected... huh?"

However, Red Saber stopped talking before she could finish. She kept swinging her sword and stared at the long sword in Illya's hand that blocked her attack.

The sword was three feet long and four inches wide, with a silver-white blade and a simple golden hilt. On the broad blade, there was a line of elven inscriptions carved...

"...Why is this sword in your hand?"

"Why?"

Hearing Red Saber's cold question, Illya looked up in surprise, but the next moment, she saw the other party raise his weapon high, and the sword energy burst out violently, turning into a gust of wind and spreading in all directions. This time, Red Saber burst into a terrifying anger, as if he had done something bad.

"Answer me! Why is this sword in your hand? Who are you?!"

Along with the roar, the shining sword light condensed again at this moment, turning into a raging flame, and blasted towards Illya.
