[Fate/Gun Rin] Scarlet and Indigo

The black short sword striking toward my body was not as fierce as a storm, but it was as precise as a lethal black bullet, aimed straight at a vital point. It had come only to take my life. I’m going to die. As a mage, I did have ways to defend against bullets. But the sword of the black assailant behind me was beyond what any human could withstand. What’s more, I was focused on dealing with the wicked barrier covering the school, and had no means of defending against an inhuman attacker who had suddenly burst in. I clenched my teeth in regret, but it was useless. Only a Heroic Spirit could fight a Servant; a mage had no chance against them. That was what made killing a Master so dangerous: the Assassin Heroic Spirit hiding its presence behind me was taking part in the ritualistic battle known as the Holy Grail War. But even with that killing intent fixed on me, even though my neck would be severed in the brief moment it took for a thunderbolt to strike, and even as my heart pounded and the murderous aura pumped icy blood through my veins, I held an unshakable confidence in my heart. I will not die here. Clang The sound of metal striking metal rang out. The lethal blow that would have taken my life was knocked aside by the crimson spearpoint protecting me, sweeping through the air like lightning. “, Whew, ” I retreated a short distance and gently exhaled, calming my ragged breathing. Then I turned to look at the dependable figure in blue, standing guard behind me and facing the black-clad Assassin, whose only non-black feature was their hair. I smiled where they couldn’t see. Because I have a partner I can trust, I will not die here.
