Chapter 188: Chapter 188

Back at the Tohsaka residence, Rin uncharacteristically made tea for you herself.

"Have some tea," she placed the teacup heavily in front of you, then awkwardly sat opposite.

"I... I'm not thanking you!" Her face flushed. "I just thought you lost too much blood and needed to rehydrate!" Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

Firefly sneered from the side. "You were just crying your eyes out a moment ago."

"Who was crying?! I was... I just got blood splashed in my eyes!"

Saber looked at this scene gently, then seriously said to you, "Orion, please don't do such things again in the future."

"Isn't it only natural to protect one's comrades?"

"But..." she hesitated, then sighed. "At least... cherish yourself."

In the following days, Rin's attitude underwent a subtle change. She started actively caring about your physical condition.

"Hey, are you really okay? Do you want another check-up?"

"I already said I'm fine."

"Hmph, who knows if you're just putting on a brave front!"

She even started trying to take care of you. One morning, as you walked into the living room, Rin came over holding a tray.

You looked at the sandwich on the tray in surprise. "This is...?"

"Breakfast! What are you looking at!" She turned her head away, blushing. "Don't misunderstand, I just... I just don't want my teammate to affect their combat power due to malnutrition!"

You took a bite. Although it didn't look great, it tasted surprisingly good. "It's delicious."

Noticing your expression, Saber offered you half of the sandwich on her plate. "Want some?"

"Really?" her eyes sparkled.

"Orion is truly generous!" She took the sandwich and exclaimed loudly, "Miss Rin's cooking is truly excellent!"

Rin was a bit embarrassed by the praise but still said in a tsundere manner, "S-since you both like it, I'll reluctantly go make a few more!"

"Rin, this is clearly from a store..." you were about to retort.

"Shut up!" She ran towards the kitchen, her face red.

Just then, Firefly also walked in. "What are you eating?"

"Sandwiches Rin bought," you said. "They're delicious!" You handed her the rest. "Want some?"

"I'm not hungry..." Before she could finish, her stomach uncooperatively growled. In the end, she still took the sandwich, blushing.

Soon after, Rin returned with a large plate of sandwiches. So, the four of you sat in the living room: Saber to your left, Firefly to your right, and Rin opposite.

"So delicious!" Saber praised again.

"A-although I didn't make them especially for you!" Rin said to you. "But you should eat more too!"

Firefly, meanwhile, took small bites, occasionally stealing glances at you. Seriously... why are the people here so interested in him... I'm clearly his partner...

"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" you noticed her expression.

"N-no!" She took a big, huffy bite. "I just think... it's too sweet!"

"This is a ham sandwich, how is it sweet?" Rin looked puzzled.

"I... maybe I'm just not used to it!" Firefly stuffed the last bite into her mouth, stood up, "I'm full!" With that, she left in a huff.

A few days later, on a rainy night, you received an urgent communication from Shirou—Caster's whereabouts were discovered. Subsequently, you rushed to provide support. Your awakened Mystic Eyes had a terrifying effect on the spiritual bodies called "Servants." Caster's magic, in your eyes, was a joke. You leisurely walked up to her and ended her in her terrified gaze.

After that, you continuously defeated other Servants. Firefly was responsible for the front lines, while you hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. After each battle, Saber would ask you: "Orion's power... what exactly is it?"

"I'm not too sure either," you answered truthfully. "I can just see some... lines. Lines of death. Cut along them, and you can kill anything."

She remained silent for a long time. "That must be a very heavy ability. To be able to see the death of all things... what does this world look like to you?"

You were stunned. "Perhaps... it's fragmented."

But when you looked at her, you noticed that the lines of death on her were different from other Servants, appearing faint. Why? Is she still alive? You averted your gaze, no longer delving into the question.

Finally, after dealing with all the overt enemies, you uncovered the mastermind behind the Holy Grail War—Kirei Kotomine. At this moment, the last Servant by his side, the man in golden armor, appeared.

"Mongrels! How dare you disturb this King's amusement!"

Gilgamesh looked at you arrogantly, and countless golden ripples emerged behind him.

"Let me show you, the Gate of Babylon!"
