Hi, new chapter here, uhh, enjoy. (Help i am running out of thing to say.)
Susan Inn
"... So, lets pick up the conversation where we left it now, shall we?" Shiki said as Brunette come to their table to serve both of them a cup of tea, "Why do you think the world summon us here in such a weakening state." She continue as she bring the cup of tea up to drink it.
"I have no idea Shiki-san, its been almost a week ever since my summon and I still can not find out the reason why I have been bought here." Fujino said with no lie in her voices at all, " *Sigh* And here i thought you would know a thing or two, but it seem like we are pretty much on the same page huh." Shiki said as she finish the drink in one go, surprising the nearby Brunette, who was just went back to her stand.
"Well, lets change the topic, the conversation are going nowhere at this point." Shiki decide to say, a thought share by Fujino as well, "Hmm, do you happen to met any servant while you're traveling here?" Shiki said after a moment of silent.
"I have met 2 servant when i arrive here Shiki-san, the first one is you and the second one being the Saber servant." Shiki raise a eyebrow, showing interest in said servant, "And do you know their identidy?" Hearing that Fujino continue, " Of course, he was very formal to inform me when I encounter him. His name is Iori, Miyamoto Iori."
"Iori...The disciple of the legendary swordman Musashi huh?" Shiki said to herself, "So do he shown any hostility when you met him?" Shiki ask and Fujino denied using a simple head shake, "So what about you Shiki-san, do you happen to encounter any servant on your way here?"
"Two, i have met two servants on my way here, excluding you then I have met one, that being the Caster servant, his name is Emiya Shirou by the way, do that ring a bell cause that doesnt ring any for me." Shiki admitted with a sigh, "Emiya Shirou... I am sorry Shiki-san, i also doesnt familiar with such name." Shiki is now a little shock at Fujino answer, "Really? I thought a guy who create Noble Phantasm like it was just a simple toy would be pretty famous."
"He create Noble Phantasm?" Fujino repeat with some interest in her voice, "Yeah, he said he can create Noble Phantasm when we first met, because I would have thought he was Heracles if he didnt explain that to me." Shiki said with some frustration in her voice.
"Heracles? Are you two talking about the Five hero?" A voice suddenly interrupt the two, when Shiki turn around she saw the owner, waiter, cooker of the inn, Brunette come to refill her tea, "The Five hero?" Shiki ask with a hint of curiousity.
"O-Oh, i must have mistaken, i am very sorry." The girl say as she ready to leave when Shiki stop her, "Wait, can you tell us more about this Five hero thing?" Shiki ask voice now full of curiousity, "You don't know? The Five hero are a famous group of brave warrior who are currently on a quest of defeating the Demon Lord, he had been tormenting us with his demon army." The Owner explain, "Their group consists of Arthur the holy sword user, Merlin the immortal wizard, Heracles the kind giant, Elena the legendary archer and finally Rostin the heir of the Heros clan." Brunette finish her speech with a confident smile and at the same time finishing refill Shiki's tea.
"...Can we met them right now?" Shiki ask after a moment of silent, "Ah, i don't think you can right now, there is no report of them ever since they came close to the Demon Lord Territory." Shiki take a moment to digest the information before saying, "So they must all die right?"
"What? No, of course not, there is no way big b- I mean, the five hero could've die so easily! They must be fighting the Demon Lord right now so that is why there isnt any report of them currently!" The waiter said hastily... Then got embarrass because of her sudden outburst, so she decide to excuse herself out before she could futher embarrass herself.
"Hm, so this world have five hero huh? Interesting." Shiki said to herself while Fujino silently placing down her cup of tea after finish drinking it when Brunette explain to Shiki about the five hero, "You know already know about this Fujino?" Shiki ask as she start to drink another cup of tea, "No Shiki-san, this information is new to me too. It seem like the people of this world don't like to talk about the hero alot huh."
But before the conversation can continue, the door to the inn open, follow it are a tanned figure and a blond hair girl came in, "There you are, took you long enough." Shiki greeted them, but it seem like those two weren't the only one who came to the Susan inn as follow them are a unfamiliar black hair man with two katanas on the side of his hip, then the three of them proceed to go to their table with Kitsuki having a less than happy glare at Shirou.
"...Caster-san, i belive we need a proper explanation for this." Kitsuki said, completely ignoring Shiki confuse look, "Well, it really not that nesessary Ginhime-san." Shirou try to reassure Kitsuki but backfire causing the Blondie to futher narrow her eyes on him.
"It really just a chain of misfortune miss." The unknown man have finally speech up, gaining the attention of all the people on the table, "Oh yeah? Then why don't you tell us the reason why you ended facing Caster-san then, Mister Saber?" Kitsuki said with a voice full of venom. Seeing no other choice, Saber decide to reveal the reason why he face Shirou... Much to the confusion of the Assassin Servant.
45 Minute ago
"Muramasa? That Muramasa?!" Iori shouted, uncaring for all the attention he gather, 'A servant?' Shirou thought as his instinct kick in and he instantly read the two sword on the side of Iori hip, 'The Disciple of Miyamoto Musashi.'
"Yeah, i'm Muramasa and? Whats with all you kid shouting? Good grief... Today had been nothing but bad luck." Muramasa said with a sigh, "Well, I'm gonna go to sell my sword now, you kid can do whatever you want." He said as he begin to walk away from the two swordmans.
"Wait a minute please!" The dark hair servant said, gaining Muramasa attention, "Can i please have your sword!" Iori ask, voice fill with excitement, "What, if you want my sword then you could have ask, no need to make such a hussle."
"Well, do you have any money to pay for it then?" Muramasa ask, temporary making Iori freeze as he realize that he actually don't have any money at all, "..." Seeing opportunity, Shirou immediately try to turn into his spirit form and sneak away from the place, then reunited with Shiki and Kitsuki as quick as possible, but it seem that his luck isnt done playing with him yet as a feminine figure suddenly call out, "So you don't have any money huh?" The voice shock both Shirou and Muramasa as both of their head snap to the direction of the voice.
And approaching Muramasa are a long purple hair woman with the same color eyes, she wore a purple haori with white outline, she also wear a simple light purple katana on the side of her hip and on her ring finger also wear a ring signifies she is married, "Uhh, who are you miss?" Iori ask a question that Shirou has already knew the answer as he had read the purple sword to know who is currenty owning it, "Muramasa, Goro Muramasa, I am Senji wife." She introduce herself.
No, the thing that suprise Shirou wasn't the fact that Senji Muramasa have a wife who just happen to be the Goro Masamune, Senji Muramasa rivals or Sensei depend on the legend. No, Shirou was suprise at Muramasa wife face, her face look extremely similar to a certain Kouhai of his, its been so long since he last saw her face that at the sight of it make he freeze up and completely forget whatever he is trying to do at the moment.
"Dont worry unknown swordman-kun, i have a perfect way for you to get money and basically have Senji's sword for free!" She said with a optimistic voice, "Wait stop right there, first of what are you doing here Goro? And second, dont suggest the kid to do whatever it is thats currently presence on your mind." Senji said with a stern voice while Goro just pout in response, "Well, for your first question i am your wife, so i can visit you whenever I want and whenever I like, secondly, don't think of me as a psychopath who suggest youngsters to commit crime! I am over that phase long time ago!"
"Anyway, if you want a easy to have Muramasa sword then I got you!" Goro continue her speech while observe the young man reaction, "The first and only thing you need to do is...!" She pause for dramatic effect, "... To join the annual tournament!"
"..."
Silence, no one said nor react to that announcement of her, Iori doesnt react due to he not knowing what she is currently talking about, and Senji doesnt react because he kind of see that coming already, "Hey! At least act shock at the new!" She shouted while blushing because of the awkward silent around her.
"Umm, do i need to win the tournament to get enough money?" Iori ask, breaking the silent air, "Well no, you just need to join and win the first round to receive the prize and don't worry about having enough money, i will have the sword on sale so you don't have to worry about that!" Senji was about to object, but before he can do so, he got a punch at his stomach by a certain purple hair lady causing him to grunt in pain, "But to join the tournament you will need another person since this time you will need to choose your own opponent in order to not repeat an incident that occur last time."
"Choose my opponent..." Iori muse to himself, "An opponent... How about that white hair man over there, he seem like he can fight." Goro suggest, pointing at Shirou who just snap out of his freezing and are currently unaware of what's going on, "Huh?"
"Hey! You there, can you fight?" Goro ask a dumbfounded Shirou, "Um uh, yes?" The hero of justice replies instinctively while still confuse about the current situation, "Great then could you help that young man over there?" Never meintion 'help, save' infront of the existence know as Shirou Emiya... Because that will make him automatically agree to whatever request you are about to ask, "Yes, Of course!" He said before he could think.
"Great, then you two can follow me to the Coliseum Sub-District to sign up." And before he knew it, he already inside the Coliseum with Kanshou and Bakuya facing the Saber servant while the announcer introduce him to the audience "THE MYSTERIOUS SWORDMAN WITH A WEIRD NAME, CASTER!"
"AND BEFORE WE PROCEED INTO THE DUEL, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE SOME RULES!" The announcer shouted with his Voice Enchanted Spell, "FIRST, NO MAGIC, SECOND, NO KILLING, THIRD AND FINAL, NO OUTSIDE HELP. AND IF YOU ARE CLEAR THEN THE DUEL WILL BEGIN IN THREE." And while the man was announcing the rules, Shirou was busy anylize the swordman in front of him.
'Miyamoto Iori... In term of skill, i am no match for him thats for sure, however i can probably deflect his attack off and if I am lucky enough then maybe land a few strike on him." Thats if he didnt perform that move on him, the moment he decide to use that on me, then live isnt even guarantee at that point.
"TWO!" Then the announcer voice reach his ear as he regain his focus on Iori, narrowing his eyes and prepare to attack, "ONE! GO!" The moment the announcer said the word, two swordmans disappear on their spot and already in front of each other, clashing blade.
At the moment they clashes blade with each other, Iori is the one with advantage in hand as his sword is cleary superior in term of length as he push Shirou into a defensive position, forcing the hero of justice into making a plan to kneel down and perform a sweep to make Iori lose balance while also find a opportunity to regain a safe distant from the swordman.
But it fell off as Iori has already notice Shirou plan as he apply more strength into his sword to deal further pressure into Shirou thus making his plan undoable as the moment he attempt the sweep, he would also lose balance due to the increase strength.
Seeing his plan fail, Shirou decide to do a reckless move by twisting his wrist and allow his left and right arm to swing at the opposite direction and hit Iori right and left sword, causing the successor of Niten Ichiryu to momentary lose the grip of his sword, allowing Shirou to jump back and reposition himself.
Iori, after regaining the grip of his sword, charge forward to with both of his katanas on the left side, ready to strike forward. And on Shirou side, he barely parry Iori blades to the left and dodge the following way, but Iori has already prepare for that as he turn around as flawless as the water flow and strike Shirou again.
The Caster servant, even though catch off guard because of Iori change of direction, still manage to parry Saber second strike and prepare to make a comback of his own by throwing Kanshou at Iori location.
Although the successor of Niten Ichiryu manage to successfully dodge the black dao thats flying at his direction, he was attack by Shirou using Bakuya to slash him but he has react fast enough to use two of his katanas to block the suprise attack.
But Shirou didnt stop at one slash, as he use the white dao to rapidly attack the swordman who has been put into a defensive position by Shirou attack. Though the hero of justice advantage didnt last long as Iori push two of his katanas forward while Shirou was preparing to use Bakuya to strike the Saber servant again, because of Iori sudden counterattack, Shirou has been left completely stun.
Seeing opportunity, Iori immediately leap forward to strike Shirou, but his instinct scream at him to move aside despite that this has been pretty much his victory. Iori decide to play safe by listen to his instinct and dodge to the right. Then from behind him, Kanshou come and fly toward Shirou, passing the spot where Iori previously stood.
Shirou naturally grab the black dao that was flying toward him. Now both of them are at a neutral ground as neither of them has an advantage nor disadvantage toward each other.
Then after the two servant finish catching their breath, they both, once again, leap toward one another as Iori seemingly vanish into a bunch of purple and yellow slash thats aiming at Shirou with the latter being a little suprise at the sudden move.
Then one, two, three and more wound start to show up on Shirou body as he got attack furiously with Iori attack with no way of defending himself. Then before he could do anything else, Iori has already appear in front of him with his right katana pointing at his throat, "It's over." Iori announce while staring at him with his less than warm eyes.
"I admit defeat." Shirou said with both of his arm up, as he do so the crowd that was follow their fight start to cheer for Iori victory, "ANDDDD, THE FIRST BATTLE OF THIS TORNAMENT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED, AND THE WINNER IS CLEAR, ITS THE MYSTERIOUS SWORDMAN HAS FALLEN AND THE SUCCESSOR OF NITEN ICHIRYU HAS EMERGE VICTORIOUS!!" The announcer said, hyping up Iori victory.
At the same time announcer said that, Iori has already begin to seal both of his katanas, "That was a great fight Caster-dono." Iori said as Shirou too, start to put two of his dao in his shroud, pretend to store both of them their, "Likewise Saber-san." Shirou answer as he put his arm forward, offering a handshake in which Iori accept.
"Saber-san and Caster-san, please follow me to the resting room." One of the staff member said as the servant duo follow them.
"Congratulation on your victory Saber-san." After they follow the staff member to the resting room, standing in front of the room was the Muramasa family congrats Iori on his victory, "Well done kid, guess this sword is your then." Senji said as he handed Iori his katana, "Oh don't worry about the price, the show you put there is more than enough to pay me." He said with a smile.
"Oh also, thank you Caster-san for helping Iori with this." Goro said while bow slightly to show her gratitude, "I am glad I could help." Shirou reply with a kind smile.
But before thing can escalated further, a familiar voice suddenly call out, "CASTER-SAN!!" and follow up by that is a blond hair figure with a amethyst eyes, "Caster-san! Are you ok? You are not hurt right?" The figure ask without trying to catch her breath.
Upon noticing Shirou wound, the figure eyes snap and look at Iori, "Calm down Ginhime-san, i am not in any serious injury, see?" Shirou said trying to reassure her, but fail as her eyes never left Iori for a second, "You, coming with me." She demand as she begin to walk away with Shirou sigh, then follow her.
Seeing refuse is not really an option, Iori decide to follow the girl, "Goodbye Miss Muramasa and Mister Muramasa, thank you for your help, i will cherish this sword!" Iori said to the couple as he began to follow Shirou and Kitsuki.
"Well that was something." Senji said to himself with a small sigh, "Oh wait, dang it, i forgot to name the sword." He complain as Goro pat his back, trying to cheer him up as she know that selling a nameless sword wasn't exactly her husband favorite choice of action.
Present
"...No," Kitsuki said with a hand clench to a fist, "THERE WASNT ANY MISFORTUNE AT THAT STORY AT ALL, SHIROU OVER HERE GOT HURT BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID OBSESSION WITH SOME RANDOM GUY SWORD, YOU-" Before she could continue on her rant, a hand chop on her back, knocking her out and causing her head to fall into the table, "Well that will put you to sleep." Shiki said as she return to her seat after just using Presence Concealment to sneak behind the girl.
"Lets set something straight, you are a servant, correct?" Shiki ask as she bring her tea up to drink, but find out that its out of tea already, "Yeah, i am the servant Saber, i guess everybody here is all servants and already know my true name?" Iori ask as he receive a nod from everyone so he continue, "Then let me reintroduce myself, my name is Iori, Miyamoto Iori, successor of the Niten Ichiryu, i got summon here by an unknown method and are currently wandering around, nice to meet you all."
A week ago
In a crystal valley stood four figure, one with silver hair and an emerald eyes while wearing a black coat, said figure is standing in the middle of the crystal and are currently approach the other three.
Suddenly one of the three collapse and his corpse get turn into green crystal and then got absorb into the silver hair girl, the other two that are still standing isnt in any better shape as one of them kneel on the ground and start breathing heavily.
The one kneeling is a long crimson hair girl with a blue eyes, she wore a fancy white dress that for some reason, show her belly, "Well... Isnt this a suprise... Out of the three of us... The youngest had to survive... The longest huh?" The figure, 5th True Magic User, Aoko Aozaki said between her breath to a old man with red eyes, he also wore a fancy black dress with a cane to support him, although that dress right now is looking pretty torn apart, the figure was none other than 2nd True Magic User, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, "So even the Third has fallen huh? This is bad new. Can you hold that thing for any longer?" The old man ask.
"At this rate? Not even one minutes." The girl answer brutally honest, "If you want this thing to go down, you better go to the world thats originally 'defeat' it, cause I don't see any other way to defeat this thing now."
"...Fine, i will go to the organization, buy time for me." He ask one simple request as the girl just chuckle at his basically impossible request. Then without any warning a purple light suddenly glow up and with that the old man was now gone without any trace.
"...Have you done with your conversation yet?" The mysterious figure ask as they begin to slowly walk toward Aoko, who was now completely exhausted, "Well basically yes." She said before getting impale by bunch of silver vines that come from the cloak figure as she too, start to become a green crystal version of herself and get absorb into the figure.
"Hmm, should I chase him?... No, i have to reunite with Shirou-sama first... Right, he is more important than that." The figure said to themself before teleport to somewhere.
Coliseum Sub-District
At the Coliseum, while everyone start to cheer for the victory of Iori, two figure stand out, both has blond hair with the only different between them are their gender and the color of their eyes as one of them got purple amethyst while the other one has crimson red eyes.
Their action too, is different from each other when one is running as fast as possible, trying to find someone, and the other one is just staring at the two swordman while the sword in his back glow a bright yellow color.
As the amethyst eyes girl trying her best to locate around the Colasium, she come across a beautiful purple crystal necklace on the ground that went seemingly unoticed by everyone around her, '...If someone drop it then they didnt need it sooo...' Without second thought, she put the necklace inside her pocket and continue her search for Shirou.
Without her noitced, the crystal now glow brightly inside her pocket.
