Fate is really a jerk. It always likes to repeat similar scenes again and again.
Some people say that the essence of human beings is a "tape recorder", but in fact this statement is more suitable for destiny.
Half an hour ago, Cu Chulainn was running all the way carrying Bazette.
Half an hour later, Cu Chulainn's junior fellow apprentice Matou Shinji encountered a similar situation.
The difference is that it's not Shinji who's carrying the person and running wildly - with a broken heart and without the "battle continuation" skill, he can't perform such a difficult operation - he's being carried by someone, a girl about the same age as him, Toosaka Rin.
The story begins half an hour ago, no, earlier.
Because Shinji deliberately showed mercy, Rin was not seriously injured, and with the help of the "Indian magic medicine" left by Gilgamesh, she woke up from her coma soon. At that time, Shinji had not yet encountered Cu Chulainn who blocked their way, and the two of them rode Pegasus together in the air.
After the previous "death fight" (Rin's unilateral opinion) and the final outburst, Rin had not yet figured out how to face this childhood sweetheart who she was not sure whether or not she was an enemy, so she deliberately did not open her eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Then, Cu Chulainn blocked the way, and Shinji asked Tenma to carry Rin back first, and he fought alone.
When Pegasus flew back into the sky, the girl couldn't help but open her eyes.
He first cursed Shinji in a low voice: "You've already fought me, but you still want to fight; you're overestimating your own abilities and being arrogant; you no longer have any servants, so why are you still fighting (he overheard the conversation between Cu Chulainn and Shinji); and he also cursed the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, saying that Gilgamesh must have damaged her brain, so she let her fellow disciples kill each other."
The more he cursed, the softer his tone became, and the more he cursed, the more he leaned in other directions, until in the end the cursing turned into tsundere and turned into worry.
Just like Shinji said, Rin is a good girl.
Just like the voice buried deep in Rin's heart, she and Shinji actually have no deep hatred, but only a one-sided unwillingness to admit defeat and a competitive spirit.
And this competitive spirit gradually faded over time - even with the right time, right place, and right people, and the double bonus of treasures and magic, he still lost. He couldn't deny it. If he didn't face reality, he would only become the bastard in Gilgamesh's mouth.
Toosaka Rin is proud, and her pride does not allow her to deceive herself.
After calming down, Rin's perception of Shinji also returned to normal.
He is the brother that his younger sister Sakura values, and the nephew that his future stepfather Kariya values. He has always been very good to himself and the Tōsaka family... Well, he is also his friend - nothing can happen to him.
After figuring this out, Rin immediately ordered Becasas to turn back.
Of course Bekasas wouldn't listen, not to mention the master's orders. Even if there were no orders, you had a fight first, and then she cursed the master so many times just now. How could Bekasas dare to take her back? What if they fight again
Please forgive our lovely Pegasus. Although it is a high-level fantasy species comparable to dragon species, and has intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, it is, after all, a simple and good child (Sister R guarantees). It does not have the complicated thoughts of humans, and does not understand what tsundere is.
In desperation, Lin chose a more extreme way. She jumped out of the car, no, jumped off the horse - if you don't take me back, I will go by myself.
Now, Becasas panicked.
It was worried about going down to find Rin and taking her to find Shinji.
Just leave Rin behind and go on your own. It would be against the master's order. Besides, there is no need for you to go back alone. You can just transform into a spirit.
As for learning from Shinji and using brute force to knock Rin unconscious and take her away, Bekassus had never thought about it. First, it was docile and didn't like fighting. Second, it might not be able to beat Rin. It had been watching the final battle between Rin and Shinji. The scene of Rin operating the "Jewel Sword" and firing continuously left a deep impression on it. No matter how strong its body was, it couldn't withstand such a violent attack.
After thinking it over, it decided to do nothing but follow the girl who had a strange relationship with its master in the air. If you are in danger, I can save you. If you want to harm the master, I can stop you. This way, it can give an explanation to both the master and the mistress (Sakura).
I am so smart—Belkazas in the sky thought so, while Rin on the ground ran as fast as she could.
Due to the speed difference between humans and Pegasus, a distance that took Velkasas two or three minutes to fly would take Rin ten times or even more time to run.
When she turned back, Shinji's heart was broken. He was dragging his horrible body to fight a group of black-skinned, red-eyed beasts. The situation looked extremely critical.
Lin didn't have time to think, he drew out his jewel sword and activated the "light cannon" sweeping mode, instantly clearing out the surrounding beasts.
Then, he rushed to Shinji and asked anxiously: "How did you get into this state?"
Almost at the same time, Shinji also asked: "Why are you back? Didn't you ask Becasus to take you away? Becasus!"
"Herod, heerd." With an obviously guilty cry, Becasas flapped his wings and slowly landed.
However, before it could stand firm, an inconspicuous black light suddenly flashed and instantly bit the Pegasus's hind leg.
It was a small snake that was as thin as a finger and looked inconspicuous and nothing special. Bekasas tore it into pieces with one release of his magic power. However, after that, Bekasas's condition became weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Shinji's magic power was also swallowed up by the bottomless pit.
"Damn it, it's Roa's poison." Shinji cursed inwardly and quickly ordered Tenma to return to the spirit world.
Faker had been ambushed and stabbed by Roa before. Orange had taken blood samples from the wound, so he knew the effect of this poison - it devours magic power, and it is very effective for servants or beings like Bekasas who need a lot of magic power.
First there was the Black Beasts, then there was Roa's poison. It seemed that the group of people behind the trouble had already arrived nearby. The purpose of the sneak attack on Becasas was also very obvious, to destroy his mobility and completely cut off his chance of escape.
Shinji saw the situation clearly and no longer hesitated. He said to Rin, "There is no time. You go first and I will cover you."
"Why are you still trying to be brave at this time! Do you really think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"
Obviously, she also saw the situation clearly, knew who the enemy was and how dangerous it was.
"Since you're not stupid, then leave now and don't get in the way here."
"If I leave, what will you do? Will you die alone?"
Seeing that Shinji was still being stubborn, Rin impatiently punched Shinji in the stomach, then turned around and picked him up.
"Rin, you—" Shinji groaned.
"Don't talk nonsense if you have no fighting ability. I have the final say here. I will never let you die here! You are not allowed to die before I defeat you!"
Rin strode forward with Shinji on her back, swinging the jewel sword in her hand continuously, the light shining as brightly as the girl's eyes.
PS: Master: Little girl, I won’t argue with you. Go change into a goddess’s vest, or two vests are ok. I will let you see what it means to kill one with one shot.
