"What a pointless struggle. Since you are Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant, you should have better judgment."
Looking at Kuu Maiya who took out another dagger from nowhere, Roland said in a rather contented voice.
"You should know that if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. In that case, why don't you cooperate with me? It can also extend your remaining time for a while."
Kuu Maiya's face sank when he heard this, but he gritted his teeth and did not continue to speak.
Having just exposed some known information was already his bottom line. If it weren't for the purpose of taking advantage of the other party's contempt for her and delaying time, she would not have done such a move at all.
The enemy has such terrifying abilities. Even if he resists here, he will be easily killed. Kuu Maiya knows this truth.
In this case, after he has dealt with himself, he will definitely cooperate with the so-called second bomb to hunt down Kiritsugu. Therefore, it is better for him to work hard and buy as much time as possible for Kiritsugu to retreat.
Forcing Roland to kill himself was the last step to buy time.
The other party was indeed right. Not knowing this information was dangerous, but Kuu Maiya also knew what kind of man Emiya Kiritsugu was.
If the only person he can trust dies, then even if no reminder is needed, this man will fight against everything around him with extreme vigilance, and may even directly call the heroic spirit, so that Roland cannot find an opportunity to assassinate him.
"Tsk,...boring."
Roland curled his lips, "Are you going to trade your own death for Emiya Kiritsugu's life?"
"It's such an amazing loyalty. It makes me seem like some angry villain."
He complained about this in a rather sinister tone. What a pity, he was doing his job well and didn't recruit or offend anyone. He was kidnapped inexplicably and later found himself in a dangerous situation where the Command Seals were coveted.
If he didn't have Killer Queen, he might be a cold corpse now.
Of course, such words will not have any effect on Kuu Maiya. Except for matters related to Emiya Kiritsugu, her coldness is deep in her bones.
"You won't answer? It's boring. Forget it, who let you meet a kind person like me? I will take your life as you wish."
Roland shook his head and walked towards the ashen-faced Kuu Maiya, preparing to end her last hope.
——
Emiya Kiritsugu moved forward carefully at a pace that would not attract much attention even in the middle of the night.
Just now, Kuu Maiya called him to a nearby stronghold through the code signal on the walkie-talkie.
Although the Holy Grail War has not yet started at this time, there should not be any danger, and it is not necessary to use coded signals to report the situation.
After all, Kuu Maiya just went to buy a pack of cigarettes tonight, and her information had never appeared before, so she shouldn't be targeted.
But Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much. Although he had many questions in his mind, he could only guess whether Kuu Maiya had encountered something urgent.
Emiya Kiritsugu unconditionally trusts Kuu Maiya and regards her as his strongest weapon.
She was able to remain calm at all times and made judgments that were even better than her own. Because of this, Kiritsugu's preparations for the Holy Grail War in the Einzbern Castle were all made by Kuu Maiya.
She was also a woman who made Kiritsugu completely at ease. When Kiritsugu was by her side, he was never ashamed of his despicability, nor did he hate her coldness.
If there is a place in this world where Emiya Kiritsugu belongs, there is no doubt that it is her.
When there were only two streets left from the stronghold, Emiya Kiritsugu gently tapped the intercom and called Kuu Maiya.
"..."
There was no response from the intercom except a monotonous voice.
"?"
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned warily. Kuu Maiya was definitely not someone who would lose her temper. She was an excellent warrior trained by herself.
Therefore, there is only one possibility, something goes wrong.
When he realized this, Emiya Kiritsugu reacted immediately. Fortunately, because he was going to the deployment base today, he had the weapon box in his hand.
After quickly taking out his usual weapon and being ready to fire at any time, Emiya Kiritsugu hid his gun-holding hand with his large black windbreaker as he slowly approached like a stronghold.
But contrary to his expectation, he did not encounter any traps or obstacles.
This is so wrong.
Although Kuu Maiya is only a low-level magician, she is a first-rate killer. When the two work together, ordinary magicians cannot even resist in front of her.
Has your information not been exposed yet? This possibility cannot be ignored, but neither can it be careless.
With every step he took, the intense uneasiness in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart became more obvious.
Even though there was no one around and there was no sound, the intuition developed over the years on the battlefield still made Emiya Kiritsugu stop in his tracks.
He took out a special gift and threw it into the ground. Although he was accustomed to using modern weapons, out of consideration for the possibility of a magic battle this time, Emiya Kiritsugu still asked Einzbern, who was famous for his alchemy. Some special gifts.
He could still handle physical attacks, but dealing with the presence of evil spirits was not Emiya Kiritsugu's strong point.
After the costume explodes, invisible dust spreads around in the form of a ring. This is a barrier that can cause harm to evil spirits, and can also expose the opponent's traces.
Then, an invisible rut appeared in the glittering dust, approaching Emiya Kiritsugu's direction with a standard yet disturbing trace.
The distance between the ruts was not too wide, and the moving speed was only as fast as that of a remote control car. However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not dare to be careless in the slightest as his guess came true.
Because the rut mark was no longer two feet away from him.
"asshole!"
Emphasizing the short words, Emiya Kiritsugu opened fire subconsciously, took out a tube of blue potion from his pocket, and poured it into his mouth.
This was the product he got after returning to Japan to work when he was young. It was an experimental product leaked from a local family. After trying the other party's effect, Emiya Kiritsugu bought it without hesitation. Not a lot of quantity.
Although it would give his brain a splitting headache every time he used it, the potion's ability could make up for Emiya Kiritsugu's biggest shortcoming when facing spirits.
It will allow the user to temporarily have the ability brought by the magic eye called the Pure Eye for a period of time, that is, to see objects that should not exist. '
Although he was mentally prepared, Emiya Kiritsugu still showed a surprised expression when he saw that the incoming object was a toy-like car.
But he was not in the mood to pay attention to this at the moment, because during the time he was retreating and preparing, the car had already passed him several positions away.
Now, the toy-like car has arrived at the feet of Emiya Kiritsugu.
But something even more supernatural happened. With blue veins popping out of his eyes, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the car in front of him, and his usually cold face finally broke.
Because, as the skull's jaw on the roof of the car opened and closed, Emiya Kiritsugu found that he heard the sound of the car.
That was pure Japanese, and it said again: "—Show me here!"
The next moment, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.
