Chapter 187: Chapter 187

"Next, we plan to win the Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail," Rin Tohsaka announced the battle plan. "Shirou and Archer will go to the other side of the city to scout. Orion, Firefly, you and Saber will act with me."

"Why do we have to split up?" Shirou was a little worried.

"Idiot! This is called efficiency!" Rin glared at him.

The next day, as you were preparing lunch in the kitchen, Saber appeared. "Sir Orion, do you need any help?" You turned and saw her wearing an apron.

"…No," she shook her head honestly. "But I can learn. As a knight, mastering various skills is necessary."

You couldn't help but laugh. "Then let's start with cracking an egg."

The scene that followed was chaotic. Saber used too much force, and eggshells shattered everywhere. Just then, Rin walked in. "So noisy… Hmm? Saber, what are you doing?"

"Miss Rin, I am learning to cook."

"Oh, for goodness sake, move aside, let me teach you!" Rin rolled up her sleeves.

"Wait, Rin, didn't you blow up the kitchen last time…"

"That was an accident!"

As a result, the scene became even more chaotic. In the end, you took over and made a decent lunch.

"Honestly," Rin poked the fried egg discontentedly. "It looks so simple…"

"It requires practice," Saber, however, was very open-minded. "But Sir Orion's cooking skills are indeed excellent!" Saying that, she began to feast.

Watching the two girls eagerly tasting lunch, you couldn't help but think—if every day could be spent so peacefully, it would be quite nice.

However, that afternoon, a shopping trip led to an encounter with Lancer in the old district.

"Oh? Four against one? That's not very fair," the blue-haired lancer smiled playfully.

"Hmph, less talk!" Firefly transformed directly. The huge silver-white mech, SAM, appeared and engaged in a fierce battle with Lancer.

"Tch, this strange weapon is really difficult to deal with!" Lancer was completely suppressed by SAM. Cornered, he leaped high, and the red demonic spear began to gather terrifying magical power. A Noble Phantasm!

You instantly rushed forward, and at the moment the Noble Phantasm was about to form, your blade cut through the weakest line of death on the spear! Crack! The red spear snapped in half!

"What?!" Lancer was utterly shocked. The massive magical power, with nowhere to vent, turned into a blood-red beam of light, deviating from its original trajectory and shooting straight towards Rin!

"Oh no!" Saber paled, but it was already too late.

In a flash, with no time to think, you used your body to block the beam! Pfft! The light pierced through your abdomen, creating a terrifying hole. Blood splattered, some even splashing onto Rin's pale face.

"Orion!!!" Saber's eyes widened, her pupils trembling.

Rin was even more stunned. She ran over, her hands trembling as she tried to cover your wound, tears flowing uncontrollably. "Idiot… You idiot… Why did you block for me…"

"Orion!" Firefly also quickly disengaged her mech and rushed over. "Are you okay?!"

You looked down at the large hole. "It's just a wound of this extent," you laughed. "I'm fine."

Then, under their shocked gazes, your wound began to heal at a visible speed. Flesh regrew, bones reconnected, and the terrifying hole slowly disappeared. Fınd the newest release on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

"This… this is…" Saber said in surprise.

"Damn monster!" Seeing that the situation was bad, Lancer turned to flee. He decided to take a hostage. "Forget it, you'll do!" In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the still-stunned Rin.

But you were faster. You wrapped an arm around Rin's waist, carrying her as you leaped high, dodging the attack. Rin instinctively wrapped her arms around your neck. Ultimately, Saber and Firefly teamed up to completely defeat Lancer.

After the battle, you put Rin down. She reached out and touched your abdomen. "It really… recovered…"

"Idiot!" she suddenly raised her voice, her eyes reddening again. "Would a normal person be fine after being pierced through the body?!"

Saber also walked over, her expression unusually serious. "Sir Orion, this ability of yours… Please tell me, what price did you pay?"

You were silent for a moment. "Perhaps… it's memories. I don't remember anything. My past, my hometown, even… important people."

The atmosphere became heavy.

"But," you smiled at Rin, "being able to use this power to make new friends and protect you all… I think it's very worth it."

"Idiot…" Rin said softly, her cheeks flushed. From that day on, the way she looked at you completely changed.
