I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

After all, Matou Shinji is just a human being.

Time travel, two lives, guidance from famous teachers, and magic can make him extraordinary, but they cannot make him the kind of person who is all-rounded and well-rounded. He may not have such talent in his bones.

Fortunately, Shen Er has one strong point - he has the courage to admit his mistakes and correct them when he knows they are wrong.

When Lorelaia made her words clear, he immediately lowered his head to save face.

"I was wrong. I will give you an explanation when the matter is settled. You can be beaten or punished. But, you really can't stay in such a dangerous place now. I beg you, go back."

However, this sincere statement still resulted in -

"Or not."

"Lorelea!"

Seeing that Shenji was a little anxious, Lorelaia's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and she bit her lip and said.

"Shenji, have you forgotten what I just said? It's too late. Do you think I will be willing to go back after seeing such a scene?"

Modern magicians who have never seen a Servant with their own eyes will never understand how powerful a Servant is. The same was true for Lorelaia in the past. Even though she knew from Kenneth and Weber that the Servants were very powerful, she didn't take them seriously. Until Faker appeared and suppressed her with his dual identity as a magician and warrior of the Gods.

From that moment on, she truly equated the followers with the ancestor-level Dead Apostles. After seeing top servants like Iskandar and Altira, this idea became even more unbreakable. The idea of ​​using the power of her servants to defeat the Death Apostles was not false and had not changed, but after actually seeing the war between the servants, she had a new idea.

What is it that can be fought over by such a being? It has nothing to do with greed, just pure curiosity plus the responsibility of the lord of the Legal Affairs Department - the management of the mystery.

"I never understood why you were so good but unwilling to step onto the stage, why you didn't want your hometown to receive attention. Now I finally understand, it's because of the Holy Grail War or something behind this ritual - if not Because the incident of 'Wallachia Night' was exposed, you may not even want me to send people here."

"..."

Shinji was speechless again. Lorelaia was right, not wrong at all. No magician is stupid, many things can be revealed with just a few clues, and Lorelaia is a leader in this area.

After silence, there was a sigh.

"Legal Affairs Department, Legal Affairs Department... I still say the same thing, I don't want you to get involved in this matter. When the Holy Grail War is over, I will give you an explanation. As long as you want to know, I can tell you the whole story of the incident. Nothing will be hidden, technical or otherwise.”

This is Shinji's biggest concession. He once didn't trust Lorelaia, but after these years of getting along with her, he believed her wholeheartedly. As long as the Great Holy Grail can be successfully purified, and as long as she is willing to go back, why not give it to her as a gift?

Lorelaia understands this intention, but understanding does not mean she is willing to accept it.

"I still say the same thing, it's too late."

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Shenji said expressionlessly. He had been holding back a lot of anger because of Roa's escape, but now that Lorelaia was holding him back, the anger in his heart became increasingly uncontrollable.

Lorelaia shook her head: "Of course not. Since you made such a promise, you won't lie to me."

"Then why? You don't know the dangers of the Holy Grail War. What's more, the scale of this war is twice as large. Even if you--"

"Even if it's me - so what?" Lorelaia raised her eyebrows in displeasure, "It is true that the Holy Grail War is quite dangerous, but I am not El-Meloy, are you looking down on me a little bit? Already?"

Shenji's eyes also narrowed: "This is not a matter of taking it lightly."

"What's the problem?"

"Those two, can I-"

Weber, who was standing aside, opened his mouth. Just as he was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere, he was struck by the two of them in unison.

"——Don't talk yet, this is a problem between us."

The teacher at the top of the clock tower sighed helplessly. It was hopeless now, these two idiots.

trust? Don't trust?

Danger? not dangerous?

These are all appearances, not the root. The real root is the character of the two people.

These two overly outstanding young people both have strong personalities and will consciously or unconsciously take the dominant position when getting along. When we were in the Clock Tower before, it was because of the mutual affection between the boys and girls and the help of myself, Kenneth, Sola and others to mediate that the conflicts were prevented from arising.

But now, when something happens that one of the parties cannot give in, the conflict completely intensifies. Weber also anticipated what would happen next.

"Matou Shinji, you are too self-righteous. Do you think that you will be invincible if you get the Noble Phantasm?"

"I didn't think so. On the contrary, you did have the intention of not paying attention to anyone after inheriting the Seal of Bartholomew."

"There are only a few people who can look into Barthemero's Eyes."

"Then I-"

"What do you think?"

"Hmm."

"hehe?"

Eye contact, sneer confrontation.

"Speaking of which, it seems that we haven't seriously fought once since you inherited the Origin Seal."

"Because I don't want to take advantage of you with the source seal."

"You took advantage of me? Obviously I was afraid that I couldn't control my power and accidentally hurt you."

"Oh? Why don't you try it now? Who is hurting whom? - Any means can be used, fighting without restrictions."

"Okay, but I have a condition - if you lose, just go back to London."

"Okay, I also have a condition - if I lose, you will obey my command this time."

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

For two people who are equally strong, the conflict will only be eliminated when one party overwhelms the other.

For powerful people like Shinji and Lorelaiya who are at the top of the world, the easiest way is to have a fight and let their strength speak. The one with the biggest fist is the truth.

The two people, less than half a meter apart, reached out at the same time and high-fived each other.

The moment their hands separated, Shenji twisted his wrist and punched him directly. Immediately afterwards, his left hand and right foot followed, apparently imitating Roa's surprise attack.

The upward movement of the corners of his mouth clearly revealed his attitude - you said that there are no restrictions and that any means can be used.

Lorelaia never thought that Shenji would be so shameless. Her movements were a beat too slow, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to attack. She could only grit her teeth and defend passively. After receiving several punches and kicks in a row, he used the force of the counterattack to retreat.

The moment you stand firm, the counterattack begins.

Shen the horse, lunge, punch!

Bartholomew are all perfectionists with obsessive compulsive disorder, and Lorelaia is no exception. The Queen of the Clock Tower has no shortcomings. Wherever she was tricked, she would find it again.

If you want to fight hand to hand, fight hand to hand, if you want to fight in close combat, fight in close combat.

With just one punch, Shinji bent his knees.

It's like a pilgrimage to the queen.
