1. to go to the Archery Dojo and train. It’s your best skill, after all.


Day 10
Zouken's Feel
Near Side

Ryougi




04:10

The neon green numbers on your bedside clock glare at you oppressively.



You sit on your bed, wrapping the blankets around you tightly as you stare into nothingness in the darkness of the room. You have a feeling that you won’t be able to do anything.

—or more precisely, anything you do will be useless. You confronted Heroic Spirit MATOU in the forest, and he showed you exactly how big the difference in power is. For every move you make, he can make ten. Forget confronting him, you cannot even avoid him now that he’s on the hunt. Only Gil can stop him, but you know that he won’t be here to help you. He has gone somewhere, doing something that is probably more important than the Holy Grail War.

You punch the bed in despair.



The seconds tick by.

Not even half a minute has gone by. You rub your sore eyes and step out of bed, walking into the bathroom.

Seeing your pathetic figure in the mirror, you punch it with all your might.



It cracks, just as your fingers crack. Yelping in pain, you quickly massage your abused fingers. You probably can’t use your left hand much for the rest of the day or so, but the pain has woken you up. You stumble back into your room and change out of your dirty clothes.

Out of habit, you slip into your school uniform, but as you zip up your pants, you stop mid-motion and question yourself. Why are you even preparing for school? There’s nothing for you to do there, and the only club you have, the Arc—

“—that’s right…!”

And a moment of inspiration hits you. You hadn’t thought about this before because it seemed so mundane, but...

“The archery range! I’m the best at archery, so I should be practicing my archery skills!”

The next few hours fly by like a breeze as you concentrate on preparing on school for the first time in what seems like ages. You cook a hearty breakfast of eggs and toast, and practice a few moves with your dagger. And soon enough, you are all prepared for school.

You take your bag and walk out of your house.



The crossroads seem to be rather deserted, you note absentmindedly. You blink and shake your head, deciding that you are probably too early to see the mass of students hurrying towards school. You continue on, mulling over your archery skills silently.





No one is here.

You look around you. The only things you can see are birds perched on trees and the odd mosquito flying around. The school feels abandoned.



You step in. Still no one.

You’re starting to feel a bit uneasy.

—and then.



A sudden wave of death crashes into you.

”He’s here.”

You run.



You end up at the archery range, panting as you blast into the area, still feeling the suffocating killing intent.

It is only growing stronger. It tears at you, breaking down your mental defences, making you feel fear you haven’t felt since—

“…Matou Shinji…?”

The killing intent vanishes, as if it were never there in the first place.

And in place of that is—



The Archery Club’s captain, Mitsuzuri Ayako, who had walked into the range right behind you, looking relieved for some reason.

“…Mitsuzuri…?”

Of all the people you thought you would bump into, you didn’t think it would be her. Archer had made it seem like you raped her, so you had thought that you would be attacked by her when she sees you.

But for some reason, she isn’t angry, instead looking relieved and…curious…?



“Well, I can finally ask what that was all about,” she says as she walks over to you.

“W-W-what…? I didn’t do anything to you, alright?” you wave your hands as you vehemently try to deny everything.

But she only tilts her head and asks, “Oh, the rape thing? Yeah, I wanted to ask you about it.”

…what.

You have no idea what is going on, so you grind your teeth and say, “That wasn’t me.”

“Of course it wasn’t you.”







…so she knew about Archer…? Your head is spinning. What did she mean by ‘of course it wasn’t you’? Archer had seen to it that the girls thought they were raped by you. How would she—

“And besides, I didn’t get raped, you know,” she continues. “But that weird guy jumped me in an alley and told me ‘Matou Shinji raped you. You will report this to the police’, and then jumped on—”

“—a weird guy…?”

“Yeah, a weird guy. Dressed in a purple hakama and carried some takeaway in his hand. It smelled like mapo tofu, maybe...? I don't remember too much about him, only that he jumped onto a roof and ran away after that.”

“…you remember being hypnotised?”



“…ah, so that’s what you were trying to do, Matou?” she laughs as she responds. “Nice try, but I didn’t fall for it!”

You are speechless. Normal humans would be easily under Archer’s hypnosis spell, especially if his claim that his Formalcraft was refined over years of training was true. Then how…



“Anyway, Matou. You haven’t been attending your classes, and you’ve been skipping out on our training sessions. Care to explain why?” Mitsuzuri breaks into your thoughts with a mundane question.

You reply bluntly, “I have better things to do.”

She huffs and turns to walk away. “And I have better things to do than talk to you now that I’ve cleared that up. See you.”

And as she leaves—



—that feeling of death returns.

“—hey, that’s unfair,” you mutter in anger. “Are you saying you won’t attack me if there’s an innocent person around?”

You run up to Mitsuzuri, and the feeling vanishes again.

“…hey,” you say, trying to think of something to talk about.

She turns around and smirks.



“Oh, you haven’t left yet, Matou-kun? Alright then, practice archery with me for the rest of the morning. You need to make up for not attending our training sessions,” she says, reaching for a bow and handing it to you.

“Why am I stuck with her? Why is my survival hinging on her?!”

“This is one sick joke,” you mutter under your breath as you notch an arrow.

“Huh? Did you say something?” Mitsuzuri asks from behind you. “I think I heard you say ‘Please let me train more, Captain’.”

You release your arrow, and in your anger you forget to control it and it flies far away from the target.

Slow, sarcastic clapping from behind you.

“As expected from the vice-captain~”

You groan. The longest day of your life begins.

~~~


As noontime approaches, Mitsuzuri starts packing up. As she opens the door to leave, you sigh in relief. At least your survived the day, though—



And you knew, deep inside you, fate was never this kind.

You run after her at breakneck speed, catching up to her as she reaches the school gates.



“You know, if you want to accompany me for lunch, you just have to ask,” she folds her arms and says something outrageous.

“W-W-What?! No! I…!”

“I’ve heard rumours that Sakura’s been on leave because of some sickness, so I guess you’re bored right now,” she says.

You know you have to say something that can attract her attention. You take a deep breath and—

“—please go on a date with me, Mitsuzuri!”



“…”

“…”

“…I’m serious!” you yell while sweat drips from your stylish hair. Your whole life depends on her answer…!

“…wow, you really are something, Matou,” she says and turns around. “Alright then, since I can’t find Emiya, you can accompany me for one day.”

…!

She begins to walk away. “Hurry up, Matou! I’m heading over to shopping district!”

You hesitate.



“…! Fucking Archer, you’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”

No reply. You run after someone you hate with a passion, hoping she can keep you alive.

~~~






“Seaweed? Wow, you really are Wakame-kun!”



“…!”



“You really are persistent, following me like this. You remind me of a pet dog.”





“…”





“You want to watch Fate/Zero? I didn’t know you like watching horror movies~”

“…horror…?”

“Yeah, Fate/Zero is a horror movie. What, you still want to follow me?”



“…yes! I’ll do it…!”




~~~





—and finally, the day of torture ends.

“Well, I have to go home now, Matou,” Mitsuzuri says, walking away into the crowd of people. “It was fun today!”

…!

If she leaves, and the crowd disperses, you will be a target again for Archer. What can you do?

You decide that it is time for drastic measures. If you injure her, Archer will be forced to materialise and help her as the hero that he thinks he is. But you can’t kill her, or he’ll be even angrier. So...

You run up to her, and brandish your black dagger. You’re unsure where to stab her so that she is injured but not fatally injured, but then again you don’t have time if you don’t want to be seen with a dagger. But you—



—she turns around, as if she had felt you approach her—



And your aim is off, the dagger sinking into her stomach.

“…shit.”

Mitsuzuri collapses in a pool of blood. Someone screams.

You run away, still clenching your bloody dagger. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a purple figure approach Mitsuzuri.



You run and you run, your feet pounding the ground faster and faster as you realise you have truly angered Archer.

“…and Emiya. Emiya will be very angry. And this isn’t some helpless Emiya I knew. This Emiya felt dangerous.”

You have dug yourself a bigger, deeper grave with this act.

But you put that away for the moment and focus on running. There is only one place you can run to.



The Kotomine Church. It is the last resort for Masters, and it is your only chance for salvation now.



You push open the doors and rush in, breathing heavily.

“Kotomine!” you scream shrilly. “Kotomine! Help! Kotomine!”

You turn around and close the great oaken doors. As you turn back—



Kotomine Kirei stands right in front of you.

You leap back, flattening yourself against the doors.

“—y-y-y-you…!”

“Good evening, Matou Shinji. Are you well?”

“…you!”

“I assume you’re not. What is it you need from this humble church?” he asks gravely, though his eyes betray his amusement.

“…I want shelter. Someone’s out to attack me.” And then, for good measure, you add, “Your Servant’s attacking me. You’re such an incompetent Master that you can’t even control him.”



The is a short silence while the priest stares at your pale face. Then...



“—I understand, Matou Shinji. I will take responsibility for this. Come, you may sleep safely here for one night.”

He walks down the pews, motioning you to follow him.

“Come, lost lamb. This priest shall guide you to salvation.”



He guides you to a small room.

“Here, rest for the night,” he says as he closes the door. “Sleep well, Matou Shinji.”

You walk over to the bed and fall onto it. It has been a stressful day for you.

“What did I do to deserve this…” you mutter as you drift off into a peaceful, dreamless sleep. “I did nothing wrong…”



Day 11. Kotomine boots you out of the Church, and you estimate you've got ten minutes before Archer comes after you like the rabid dog that he is. You’re Matou Shinji, genius and magus extraordinaire though, and you cannot admit defeat so easily. You decide to—

1. Fight at the Church. There’s no time to do anything else.
2. Run. You don’t know where, but anything will do to buy time—!




I think I promised someone best Fate waifu will show up at some point, and well...it hurt more than I thought it would, doing that to her >_<

Useful notes: Yet another day, this one shorter than before because there really isn’t much to do but survive without Gil-chan around. Meaning your main goal for the next day is to survive for as long as possible before he comes back and saves your sorry wormy backside. Nothing much to say this time, except that Kirei loves you now, you’re a constant source of entertainment for him, and he’s probably going to love watching you fall into despair if you ever do.

Speaking of despair, Matou Kariya’s up to make some in his search for revenge. Meaning if you get some Kariya’s Pit scenes (aka you die a gruesome death as Shinji), you might see him try to fight the evil that is Illyasviel von Einzbern…! You can do it, Kariya-sempai~

As for the reason why Ayako wasn’t hypnotised? Well, Archer was in a hurry to get back to the Church for one, and Ayako was the last of the girls he had hypnotised, so he probably did a rushed job of it. And they say those with magic circuits are usually harder to mind-wipe than usual…

Day 11
Zouken's Feel
Near Side

Answer (Part 1)





You wake up to the peaceful sounds of birds chirping outside your room. It is a melodic sound, lulling you back to sleep as quickly as it wakes you up. As you drift between paradise and reality, you feel there is a figure standing next to you.

“Go away, Sakura,” you mutter irritably, drawing the sheets over your head. “Leave me alone.”

“Hoh? You miss your sister this much, Matou Shinji?”



The baritone voice snaps you out of your sleepiness immediately. You scramble out of bed and look up to see—



—someone who is definitely not Sakura.

“What,” you groan as you put on your shoes. “do you want now?”

Kotomine Kirei smirks and starts pacing about the room calmly. “What do I want? No, what do you want, Matou Shinji?”

“…huh?”



The priest closes his eyes and sighs condescendingly. It’s so early in the morning, but you already feel this is going to be a horrible day for you.

“What do you want to do after you leave the church?” he clarifies. “I’m afraid I cannot let you stay a moment longer. Archer might actually ignore my commands and kill you, and I don’t want to have to mop the floor again.”

“Hey, the Church is neutral ground,” you retort angrily. “If I stay here, Archer won’t come and kill me!”



Kotomine pauses for a moment, his pacing halted abruptly.

“Ah, I see now,” he says. “So that’s why you’re so eager to stay. But you see, Matou Shinji, Archer can ignore such a rule, and if he does so, I won’t know until he actually kills you.”

Then just as abruptly, he continues to pace around you.

“Let me tell you something about the Archer class, from one Master of Archer to another,” he says as paces behind you.

You frown. “I didn’t think rival Masters would give out inform—”

“—consider it a blessing of sorts, Matou Shinji. Archers are able to act independently, even without backup from their Masters.”

You nod as he says so, remembering what you have read in some of Zouken’s old tomes. “Yeah, their class ability, Independent Action. That allows them more freedom than normal Servants to carry out actions,” you say. Then, recalling Archer’s stats, you turn around to face the priest. "They can disobey their Masters, but that’s only when the rank is higher than A. Otherwise you should be able to stop him before he betrays you. Archer’s rank is only at—”

“Think about it this way, Matou Shinji,” Kotomine cuts in cooly. “What if Archer has a skill that conceal himself from even his Master? Or at least make it difficult for me to track him down?”

“…a skill?”



“That’s right,” Kotomine says, his face grave. “Were you able to take a look at Archer’s skills?”

“…ah.” you remark in surprise. You didn’t think about looking at his skills. All you were concerned with was his parameters…

Kotomine shakes his head. “You are truly a lost lamb, Matou Shinji. What would you have done if you hadn’t come to me?”

“H-hey! What’s that supposed t—”

“Disengage.”

“…eh?”

“Disengage, rank B. Protection from Arrows, rank C. Bravery, rank A. Formalcraft, rank A,” Kotomine says slowly. And then he walks over to the sole window in the room, a frown on his face. “Vitrification, rank B+.”

Your eyes widen as you realise what he is talking about.

”He’s telling me his Servant’s personal skills…? But why would he do this?”

“The last skill,” Kotomine continues, paying no attention to your shock. “That is the skill that he is using to block my senses. Normally, I would be able to tap into my Servant’s senses and see what he is doing. But that serene state of mind…

“That state of mind, along with his Bravery skill is proving difficult for me to break into. The only way I can find him is to use a Command Seal, but he would probably revolt and try to kill me. So you see, the Church is hardly a safe place for you right now.”

“…I…so what do I do?” you mutter. You didn’t need to hear that much from him. All you want to know is where you can hide from Archer.

“Leave,” Kotomine says bluntly. “Leave, and find a better place to hide.”

You grab your dagger and stab it into the wall in anger. “There’s nowhere else to hide, Kotomine! There’s nowhere safe for me!”

You slip the dagger back into your pocket, whirl around and stomp out of the room, but as you do so—




“Fight.”

Kotomine puts a hand on your shoulder and says something ridiculous.

“…eh?”

“If you have no other choice, then you have to fight him.”

You don’t even have to turn back to know that there is a grin on the priest’s face.

“You filthy priest,” you snarl as you shake off his hand and storm out of the room. You make your way out of the Church hurriedly.



Standing at the entrance of the Church, you realise there is indeed no place for you to hide. Then the only option is…

“This ends now,” you growl as you take out your dagger, taking a fighting stance.

As if waiting for you to do so, the Servant materialises twenty metres away from you in a shimmer of blue prana.



“Took you long enough. I was beginning to wonder if I should burn the church down to smoke you out.”

“Are you kidding me? Your Master’s in there…!” you say, surprised by his ruthlessness.

But judging by his intense expression, you are sure he isn’t kidding.

“What, Kotomine? He needs to die for trying to make me do that to Emiya,” he growls in contempt. “Also, aren’t you going to say anything about yesterday?”

You are puzzled. Yesterday? That’s when you managed to evade him for an entire day thanks to your quick thinking. Why would he bring that up all of a sudden?

“Yeah, I managed to avoid you for an entire day, and all thanks to you and your act of being a hero. See, being a hero really is dumb, right?”



Archer turns his face away as he grimaces. “You…you really don’t care about her?”

You blink in surprise as you recall the events from last night. “Ah, Mitsuzuri. I cared a lot you know. I know killing her would’ve made you and Emiya angrier. I missed when I stabbed her though, so maybe I did? But anyway, it’s her fault anyway for turning around so suddenly.”

As if a switch was turned on inside him, he becomes calm again, his face becoming expressionless. “I see. Then I truly am justified in killing you right here and right now.”

“I couldn’t save her even with my Formalcraft. She’s in a coma right now. I’m not sure if she’ll ever wake up, but I’ve left something for her…as an apology, I guess,” Archer says, his face serene as the autumn wind. You don’t process what he is saying, as the topic really isn’t important to you. What you are worried about is when he will start attacking.

As if reading your mind, he pauses and takes a step forward. “But that’s not important to you, is it? All you care about is your own survival.”

He draws his bow.

You sink slightly lower, ready to dash away from his attack.

“Well then,” he says. “Shall we begin?”

”I am the worm of my pit.” you chant in response.

Archer draws out a metallic-looking arrow from his sleeve, and—

“…!”

—you are already dashing away as you see him notching it. From your experience, you have to dodge the arrow before it is even shot, because the opponent you face is simply that fast. You duck to the right, just in time to see a blue bolt crash into the space you were occupying just a second ago.



The arrow that whistles across you is nothing like you’ve seen before. The prana charged into that one attack is ten times more than the arrows you have faced altogether in the Einzbern Forest.

It rockets past you and strikes the building behind you with a resounding bang.

“Tch, you little worm.”

“I’m not a worm!” you screech back as you run towards him, dagger in your hand.



This time, the arrow is red. There is no need for you to confirm how dangerous it is, as every arrow he shoots at you is fatal.

You roll underneath the arrow, and continue running towards him. But then, you feel as if something is very wrong. Unlike the previous shot, this shot didn’t feel like it was aimed at you at all.

Your eyes widen and you turn around—





—you have just enough time to raise your dagger and deflect the arrow.

“—guh!”

It feels as if your arm has been torn off.

“That…is the power of a Servant…?”

You leap away from Archer, turning back to him as you do so. The red arrow has vanished, and he is frowning at you.

“…to think you noticed my attack…that was just an imitation of his move, but…” he mutters just loud enough for you to hear him. “…is it because I am the future counterpart of Matou Shinji? A resonance effect…?”

You do not give him time to think. Crying out wordlessly, you charge at him again.

This time, he raises his bow—



—and tosses it aside.

…! You don’t understand. “Did he just throw away his weapon? What is he…?”

There is no time to think, however. You are but five metres away, and he will be in your range in less than a second.

You—

1. leap back. There is a time and place for your final blow. Now is not the time.
2. charge forward. There is an opening, and you can take advantage of his carelessness.

Did Kotomine help Shinji like that? I guess he has much fun right now. And the final fight with Archer is here.

Option 2. I want to achieve a bad end to help Kariya-senpai.

Option 2. For Shiki Ayako.

Wait a sec. Ayako. In a coma.

Shinji really better hope she doesn't wake up or else he may just come face to face with a killer.
