Is the enemy Kisaragi Rin?

This news truly startled Shinomiya Kaguya, and she felt an unexplainable sensation.

Gilgamesh was in the sky, watching the drama unfold, while Hayasaka Ai, her maid, was exchanging glances with Kisaragi Rin, preparing for an insubordination.

The reunion after so many years was actually such a scene, Shinomiya Kaguya's face darkened a bit.

Most importantly, I proactively greeted you, and you actually ignored me!

You even tried to hook up with my maid right in front of me!

Since that's the case, then let's fight!

This is the Holy Grail War, and trampling you underfoot is the best way to reunite.

Shinomiya Kaguya raised her hand; after observing Scáthach for a moment, she understood the Heroic Spirit's intention.

Scáthach was a hidden battle maniac, wanting to fight Gilgamesh in her full state.

There are four enemy Heroic Spirits, why don't we cooperate!

This message was conveyed, and Scáthach had no objections; considering the current situation, cooperating with Shinomiya Kaguya was indeed a good choice.

Gilgamesh stood high in the sky, observing the developments below, and noticed what Shinomiya Kaguya said.

Although she was a bit annoyed that Shinomiya Kaguya didn't ask for her opinion, she didn't voice her disapproval and tacitly agreed to this cooperation.

After all, she wasn't foolish; the combination of Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino on the opposite side was indeed very difficult to deal with.

"Okay."

Scáthach agreed, and the magic spear in her hand pointed towards Kisaragi Rin.

"Kisaragi-san, did you do something excessive to this person?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked from the side.

Alliances are alliances, and according to their previous assumptions, even if the enemies allied, they would only be wary of each other.

But now, judging by Shinomiya Kaguya's intent, she had completely abandoned other thoughts, only wanting to gather all her strength to defeat Kisaragi Rin in front of her first.

"Actually, I haven't done anything at all; I just refused her invitation back then."

Kisaragi Rin muttered softly.

In elementary school, he was a genius and was sent to an aristocratic school, where he met Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai.

Of course, nothing strange could happen at that age.

After graduating from elementary school, he never saw Shinomiya Kaguya or Hayasaka Ai again.

In that past, his entanglement with Shinomiya Kaguya was indeed extensive.

As for unpleasant things?

The only thing Kisaragi Rin could think of was his refusal of Shinomiya Kaguya's invitation.

Hmm... because he was quite excellent in elementary school, he was invited by her to become her future butler.

The Shinomiya Family was one of the top financial conglomerates in Japan, and Kisaragi Rin had no interest in getting involved, nor did he intend to become Shinomiya Kaguya's vassal, so he directly refused at the time.

After becoming a player, Kisaragi Rin naturally thought that there would be such existences among the people he once knew.

However, due to leaving Tokyo and going to Chiba, the people he knew before were not around, so he didn't have the idea of re-exploring.

As a result, in the alternate Fuyuki City, he actually met these two people.

Compared to the somewhat naive Kaguya-sama in elementary school, Kisaragi Rin's relationship with her maid, Hayasaka Ai, was a bit more familiar.

"Hayasaka, control your young lady."

Kisaragi Rin hinted with his eyes.

"Can I control the young lady?"

Hayasaka Ai responded with her eyes.

"You just need to stab her in the back; becoming Gilgamesh's Master means you should be stabbed in the back."

"It's too complicated; after not seeing you for so long, I can no longer understand Kisaragi's gaze..."

Hayasaka Ai withdrew her gaze, no longer intending to communicate with Kisaragi Rin, not knowing whether she truly couldn't understand or didn't want to discuss the topic.

After all, Shinomiya Kaguya was right beside them, witnessing Kisaragi Rin's eye contact with her.

Feeling truly displeased, Shinomiya Kaguya calmed her breathing and said expressionlessly, "Kisaragi-san, please rest assured, I will not kill you."

"Don't talk big, Kaguya."

Kisaragi Rin calmly raised his hand and said seriously, "If the opponent is you, I think this Holy Grail War will end very quickly."

In fact, it was true; apart from the anomalies Soichiro Kuzuki and Emiya Shirou, the seven Masters of the legitimate Holy Grail War would ultimately decide the final winner here.

The reason for this was attributed to the attitudes of all parties.

For Shinomiya Kaguya, today's outcome was only victory or defeat; it was a rare encounter, and she couldn't retreat in a disheveled manner in front of Kisaragi Rin.

For Gilgamesh and Scáthach, retreating sounded even more ridiculous; even death couldn't make Gilgamesh abandon her dignity, let alone Scáthach, who descended into the Holy Grail War just to seek death.

Kisaragi Rin also didn't want to let Scáthach and Gilgamesh go here.

Emiya Shirou had escaped, Soichiro Kuzuki was still hidden in the Fuyuki City outside, and this timeline was a product of the Corrupted Holy Grail's destruction.

In such a complex situation, letting two more enemies go, did he want them to form an Avengers League to come back and crusade against him?

The best choice was to defeat the Archer and Lancer right here.

Saying that, Kisaragi Rin looked up at Gilgamesh in the sky and asked her, "Want to make a bet?"

"Bet on what?" Gilgamesh asked.

"Naturally, the victory of this battle; if I win, you give me the Noble Phantasm that formed this space, right?" Kisaragi stated his idea.

After realizing where he had seen this space before, Kisaragi Rin was truly itching with anticipation; if it was truly that item, acquiring it was a must.

"You want this Noble Phantasm?"

A bet on winning or losing was truly disrespectful, but Gilgamesh's attention was more focused on this Noble Phantasm.

According to her personality, when she heard Kisaragi Rin's bet, she wouldn't refuse.

"That's right."

Kisaragi Rin nodded, and Yukinoshita Yukino withdrew her gaze from observing Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, asking from the side, "Can we fight now?"

Although Shinomiya Kaguya's figure was even flatter than her own, the fact that she knew Kisaragi Rin still made Yukinoshita Yukino feel a sense of crisis.

Hmm... a sense of crisis from teaming up.

Kisaragi Rin S, she herself A, this was a basically tacit understanding, but now two enemies who knew Kisaragi Rin suddenly appeared, causing a ripple in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart.

Shinomiya Kaguya was also observing Yukinoshita Yukino, after all, Yukinoshita Yukino was a living person beside Kisaragi Rin, not a Heroic Spirit, and the fact that they could team up indicated that their relationship was already intimate enough.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't want to show her "importance" of Kisaragi at all; she only planned to investigate his recent situation after returning to the Main World.

"Kisaragi-san, it's really been a long time..."

Sighing inwardly, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at her three unused Command Spells and suddenly felt that such a reunion wasn't bad after all.

And Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino simultaneously looked at their Heroic Spirits, and with the surge of magic power, the battle that had long been suppressed reignited once again!
