Tosaka Rin raised her arms to cover her face.

She lay on her large bed at home, motionless for a long time.

“I don’t know what it is, but that’s what it is.”

The girl suddenly sat up from the bed. She looked at the home furnishings that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar. She felt a headache and a little dazed.

"Aaaah, although it is inherited from the second method, but when I was sorting out the Zelritch treasure chest, I suddenly returned to my childhood or something..."

Rin Tosaka looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. Oh, it was already late.

But it's understandable, right? If he was already a lecturer in the Clock Tower, and suddenly went back to the past and became a junior high school student, he would definitely not be able to adapt, and he wouldn't care about being late for school, right?

Tosaka Rin said lazily, "Forget it, I'll ask for leave first, but... who should I ask for leave from?"

After searching through the phone messages for a long time, Rin Tosaka finally asked for leave from her homeroom teacher. She cleaned herself up and went to the basement of the Tosaka family.

"I never thought I'd be able to participate in the Holy Grail War again."

Ever since she and El-Melloi II analyzed the Greater Holy Grail, Tosaka Rin had never thought that one day she would be involved in the Holy Grail War again. She looked at the box on the test platform with a nostalgic look on her face.

This time there was no need to solve a puzzle. Tosaka Rin easily opened the treasure chest left by her father. There were two items inside, one was a ruby ​​necklace, and the other was a medium for summoning heroic spirits, but the medium was obviously destroyed by someone.

Tosaka Rin picked up the ruby ​​necklace first, looking a little dazed.

Shirou Emiya... the Heroic Spirit Emiya...

The Heroic Spirit Emiya hates his own choice. If he had the chance to do it all over again, would he still choose to kill Emiya Shirou?

But in the end Shirou chose Sakura.

Is that enough? The Heroic Guard's obsession has finally paid off.

Should I call him again?

After a long time, Tosaka Rin sighed heavily, put away the ruby ​​necklace, and looked at the damaged summoning medium.

Her eyes turned cold and sharp.

Although I don't understand how I went back to the past, there are still things I need to do.

For example, kill the old bug that hurt his sister! If it wasn't for Matou Ruoyan, how could Sakura become the Holy Grail carrier?

For example, trying to find a way to kill the bastard who killed your father!

After the Fifth Holy Grail War, Tosaka Rin reviewed her father's experience in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but it was too long ago and the people involved either died or knew little about it.

The medium in front of him was probably the one his father had used before, and the Servant summoned should be the blond Archer following Kotomine Kirei.

Now that the medium is damaged, if she summons again, what kind of servant can she summon?

Tosaka Rin pondered, if she had not brought the Heroic Spirit to school this time, Ncer would not have hurt Emiya Shirou, and perhaps Emiya Shirou would not have been dragged into it.

How to defeat the blond Archer without Shirou Emiya?

"Give it a try. Now that we are here, it's a rare opportunity to try it out again."

Tosaka Rin suddenly smiled and said confidently, "Maybe we can summon a Servant related to that blond bastard?"

She did it as soon as she thought of it. Tosaka Rin excitedly pushed open the test table, put all the heavy brick books aside, and cleared the ground.

She glanced at the clock beside her.

I remember that I had waited until midnight to summon the Heroic Spirit at the most suitable time for my magic power wavelength. But now, Tosaka Rin naturally shook her ponytails. Why worry so much? Just do it first!

In other words, it's not a summoning of the Heroic Guard, it's just a broken medium, just a random try.

If the summoning is successful, that's a good thing. If it fails, just wait for the most appropriate time in the evening to summon it again.

Tosaka Rin placed the summoning medium on the summoning formation. She took a few steps back and deliberately placed her ruby ​​necklace in the sealed gift box to avoid being affected.

Then she held her breath and concentrated, her magic power wrapped around the broken gems, the nerves in her body began to reverse, the magic circuits turned into a human magic furnace, and magic swarmed out.

"It's full, it's full——"

It has been a long time since she recited the summoning words, but when Tosaka Rin began to call again, the spell emerged in her mind like flowing water, and there was no trace of stagnation or slackness in her words.

It was like it was engraved in her soul, constituting the most important component of her life.

"Declare—

You obey my command, my life and your sword are together——"

A pale blue light emanated from the summoning array. An invisible wind blew up, blowing away the dust. Something was about to emerge.

"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who gathers all the evils in the world—"

Things like good and evil are too difficult and too boring for her. She just needs to do the things in front of her well and not leave any regrets.

Kill those you want to kill, and help those you want to help.

"——Come! Guardian of the Libra!"

So no matter who it is, please send a heroic spirit to let me blow the heads off Gilgamesh and Matou Ruan!

Boom——

Invisible power exploded, spreading as gently as a breeze on your face, and a person appeared in the summoning array.

Tosaka Rin looked at the Heroic Spirit in the summoning formation with some curiosity and surprise. It was ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising slowly, and it was the most unsuitable time for her magic wavelength. Moreover, she used a damaged medium. Did she actually summon a Heroic Spirit that met the requirements?

But when she looked carefully, she found that the heroic spirit was lying on the summoning array, lying on his side, seemingly sleeping.

As if he realized something, he yawned, stretched, twisted his body, and then opened his eyes lazily.

Tosaka Rin: “…”

Ah, this action seems a little familiar. Wasn't it the same thing she did when she was lingering in the quilt just now?

Ize Shan opened his eyes and was stunned to see a girl with two ponytails, with her arms crossed over her chest, looking down at him.

He slowly sat up with his legs crossed, and was about to say something when suddenly some more information came into his mind.

"...Holy Grail War?"

Ize Shan realized belatedly that when he was dozing off beside the goddess Tiamat, he seemed to have inadvertently responded to some summons and was actually brought back from the ocean of emptiness!

Tosaka Rin looked at Izawa Sugi suspiciously: "...Are you a Servant?"

Izawa Sugi yawned again.

In the imaginary ocean, Ize Shan drifted to the goddess's shoulder to take a rest.

With the divine power resonating between him and the goddess, not only was the chattering of the outer gods completely blocked out, but he also felt the tranquility and security in the womb for the first time in a long time.

Wake up refreshed.

"Let's just say that." Ize Shan raised his hand and slapped his face to sober himself up.

"How did you summon me? Normally, I cannot be summoned."

Tosaka Rin frowned and became more alert.

Who stipulated that servants must obey the orders of the Lord? There are many Lords who were attacked by servants, such as the caster who killed the Lord in the fifth Holy Grail War, and her father was killed by the joint backstab of the apprentice and the servant.

“…This is a summoning medium.”

Tosaka Rin motioned Izawa Sugi to look at the box near the formation, which contained a destroyed snake.

Ize Shan stretched out his hand and took it, examining the snake carefully.

"What is this?"

"It looks like the oldest serpent in legend." Tosaka Rin explained while carefully observing the Heroic Spirit she summoned. "The last magician used this serpent to summon the oldest king, King Gilgamesh."

Ize Shan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"It's him, Snake. Oh, I see."

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, King Gilgamesh sets out on a journey to find the elixir of life. After he obtains the elixir, a snake steals it. Apparently this serpent is the thief snake in the epic.

According to legend, the Gorgon can summon King Gilgamesh, but it was the death of Enkidu, the Celestial Wedge, that drove the king on his journey, so could the broken Gorgon also be the medium for the broken puppet Enkidu?

Since they are all destroyed, the one summoned should be Enkidu's Unit 2 Kingo, right?

Ize Shan was a little puzzled. Even if Kingu's special deeds in the Mesopotamian Plain were not enough to make him a hero, in the creation myth, Kingu was the child of the goddess Tiamat. Couldn't these two records support the creation of a hero?

While Izawa Sugi was thinking, he saw the butterfly pattern on his arm out of the corner of his eye.

He was dressed exactly as he was when he was chatting with Oberon in the dream, a sleeveless tight black top and dark grey trousers and boots. His long black hair fell naturally with emerald green at the ends, and his eyes were pure gold.

At this moment, the butterfly pattern on Ize Shan's arm flickered slightly, as if it came alive.

Ize Shan's heart moved, and he sensed it a little, and indeed he realized the vague connection between himself and Oberon.

Ize Shan was feeling a little excited and happy, but he tried hard to suppress the upward smile.

Hehe, didn’t that tough-mouthed but soft-hearted guy Oberon quickly pull him out of the sea of ​​​​vain?

Then Izawa Shan felt a little timid again. He had just offended Oberon, and if he fought the Holy Grail War now, he would be beaten!

Forget it, Ize Shan thought, just treat it as a way to entertain his parents and let Oberon vent his anger.

After calming down, Izawa Shan stood up.

As he stood up, Tosaka Rin found that he was two heads taller than her and looked a little thin, but the muscle lines revealed by the tights were particularly smooth and beautiful.

"Well, although it's a bit unexpected, since we've all been summoned, let's just get along well with each other for the next few days."

Izawa Shan handed the medium in his hand to the girl, "You can tell from the look, I'm Archer, you can just call me the agent, what's your name, Lord Archer?"

Tosaka Rin blinked and looked Izawa Sugi up and down. It seemed that this strange heroic spirit had a good temper?

"…Tosaka Rin, you can call me Tosaka or Rin."

She extended her hand to Ize Shan: "Then please give me your guidance from now on."

Ize Shan shook hands back readily: "Must-do."

Tosaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief. She put away the medium first and asked tentatively: "Archer, do you know your real name?"

Izawa Sugi observed the layout of the magic workshop around him and answered casually, "I know. Is it possible that a summoned Heroic Spirit doesn't know its own name? That's too stupid, right? If that's true, it must be a lie."

Tosaka Rin: “…”

The knee was hit by a sword for no apparent reason.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You're right..."

"You seem to know King Gilgamesh. Do you know him?" Tosaka Rin asked again.

Izawa Sugi replied: "I was fortunate enough to meet him from afar. The one I knew was Gilgamesh, who had returned to Uruk after completing his quest for the elixir of immortality and became a qualified virtuous king of Uruk. Heroic spirits have many sides, especially the kings of the ancient mythological era. Their different faces can constitute different occupations."

He asked back, "Rin, why are you so interested in King Hyun?"

Tosaka Rin tensed her body slightly, a defensive posture: "In this Holy Grail War, I might face Gilgamesh."

If the Heroic Spirit I summoned has a friendly relationship with King Gilgamesh...

Izawa Sugi was a little surprised and immediately asked, "Am I the last Servant to be summoned? Do you already know the identities of the other Servants?"

Tosaka Rin shook her head and nodded: "That's about right. I was the second to last one to summon a Servant. As for Gilgamesh, he seems to be the Servant who stayed in the world after the last Holy Grail War. He is Archer."

Izawa Sugi was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "Archer, the tyrant Gilgamesh, no wonder he is so playful, it's normal for him not to want to return to his seat and stay in the world to have fun."

At this point, Izawa Sugi said to Tosaka Rin: "I'm sorry, I can't beat King Gilgamesh."

Tosaka Rin frowned: "Are you giving up before the fight even starts?"

"Gilgamesh the Tyrant was in the stage of confronting the goddess Ishtar head-on and making trouble with the gods. During this period, his divinity was at its strongest. It just so happened that I now have a strong divinity and was restrained by him."

Ize Shan looked at the pigtailed girl with regret, "How about you find another lord to form an alliance with? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

There must be some special connection between the two magicians who could summon him and Oberon at the same time, right?

But before that...

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, Rin, why did you join the Holy Grail War? What do you want the Holy Grail for?"

Tosaka Rin, who was still thinking about divinity, was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously answered: "What are you doing? Do you need a reason to win? The battle is in front of us, so of course we have to win! As for what to do... Let's talk about it after we win."

Izawa Sugi's eyes widened and his smile was brilliant.

“I like that answer.”
