When I come to, I'm in a ridiculous place.
;p
"What is this place...?";b
This isn't just some place I've never seen before. ;bIt has a bed with a gorgeous canopy, and a long carpet that makes it look like you could sink to your ankles.;b
A stone fireplace that is not just decorative, but actually functional.
;p
The patterns on the wall aren't just wallpaper as they are actually engraved.;b
I'm used to mansions like Shinji's house, but this is on a different level. ;b
........It's embarrassing to say, but this is like a castle you'd read about in fairy tales.
;p
"....!";b
My mind almost falls unconscious. ;b
My body is strangely heavy.;b
Is my blood circulating poorly? I feel like I'll fall asleep again if I let my guard down.
;p
"Umm... What happened?" ;b
I try to remember with my hazy mind. ;b
I... oh yeah, I was bound by Ilya and lost consciousness.
;p
"...So I'm caught by Ilya, huh?";b
No one is in this room. ;b
My body feels heavy, but it seems I could at least raise my arm.
;p
"Whoa, I'm tied up?!";b
My dazed mind instantly awakes.;b
Realizing the danger I'm in, I study my situation first.
;p
"...I'm sitting in a chair and my hands are behind my back...handcuffs.. no, they're just tied with a rope." ;b
I'm not in the worst condition, but it makes no difference to the fact that I cannot move. ;b
My body is still numb, and I can't even get up with my hands tied.
;p
"...How long has it been? Clock...... no, I don't see one as I expected.";b
There is no clock in the room.;b
The window is.... behind me.;b
I turn around as much as I can, but the curtain is draped over it and I can't quite tell what's outside. ;b
But the sun has already set outside. ;b
I met Ilya in the morning, so that means at least half a day has passed.
;p
".................";b
I can't be doing this now. ;b
I don't know where I am, but I have to go home to Saber as quickly as I can. ;b
.....Saber is weakening. ;b
I can't trouble her by letting her know I've been kidnapped.
;p
"Mn.....!!!";b
I pull at my hands. ;b
Even if I am to run away, I have to do something about the rope tied behind my back first.
;p
".....?!"http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se062.mp3
;b
The door opens.;b
I release my power at the same moment as she walks in.
;p
"Oh, you're finally awake! Good morning, Onii-chan.
How are you feeling?"http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11azhong_.png 38px 185px
;a morning loop
;b
Ilya is acting totally different from before. ;b
Her cold eyes are gone and the Ilya before me is the white girl who was talking to me in that park the other day.
;p
"Hm? What's wrong? You don't seem energetic.
Does your body still not move? ..... That's odd,
you should be able to talk by now."http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/08djin_.png 195px 139px
;b
She looks at me, tilting her head. ;b
.......It looks like she's just worried about me.
;p
"... I'm fine. I can talk and my head's cleared enough to know that I've been captured."
I glare at Ilya. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/08djin_.png 195px 139px
;p
"What, are you dissatisfied? We usually put our captured enemies in the dungeon.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/07bzhong_.png 281px 144px
;b
But I felt bad about doing that to you, so I brought you into my room as a special exception.";b
Ilya looks displeased. ;b
I don't know if I should be thankful or not.;b
....But anyway, I'm starting to understand the situation I'm in.
;p
"......I get the situation. I'm captured and this is your place, right?"http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/07bzhong_.png 281px 144px
;b
I say so sharply, killing my emotions. ;b
As long as I don't know the full details of the situation, I should listen for now.
;p
"That's right. I told you before that I live in a castle in the forest."http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11azhong_.png 230px 185px
;p
"This is a castle in a big forest, and there's nothing around here. It takes a few hours by car to get to the town you live in. Nobody will come to save you, nor will there be any nuisances." http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11czhong_.png 230px 185px
;p
"......I see.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11czhong_.png 230px 185px
;b
I get that, but why did you do it?;b
If you wanted to kill me, you could have done so at the park."
;p
"Why? I don't intend to kill you, Shirou.
You're mine. I'll kill the other Masters, but
you're special. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/07azhong_.png 282px 144px
;b
That's why I locked you up here, so there won't be any interruptions."

"........!";b
I automatically lean back.;a morning fadeout 1000
;b Ilya puts her face close to mine as if not caring about my feelings.
;p
"H-hey, Ilya...!" ;b
I know it's indiscreet, but my heart's beating fast from the weight of Ilya on my legs. ;b
... Even though she's not heavy, she feels so alive that I can't think straight......
;p
"Yeah, like I thought, Shirou is special.;b
........Hey, do you want to become my Servant? If you're going to be my Servant, I won't have to kill you. All you have to do is nod, and I can spare you."
;p
She says so in a fawning voice. ;b
This is nothing half-hearted. ;b
Ilya's words are so pure that I won't be able to take it back if I nod. ;b
.........And if I do betray her, all her purity would probably turn into hatred.
;p
With Ilya so close to me, my confused mind freezes.;b
This isn't just that she likes me. ;b
Ilya's question is asking me if I want to live or die.
;p
"You don't even need to think about it, right?
You don't have Saber already. You don't have a way to fight.;b
So it'll be useless to stay as a Master now."
;p
"......No. Saber hasn't disappeared yet. I won't let that happen."
;p
"Oh yeah? But she'll be killed easily in her condition.
It's fine, you can stay here. If you're going to stay here forever, I'll protect you forever too."
;p
Ilya snuggles up to me. ;b
I don't even have the freedom to push her away. ;b
........I don't know what will happen if I disobey her. ;b
But I still can't nod to Ilya's words.
;p
"...... I can't. Get off of me, Ilya. No matter what you say, I..." ;b
Ilya puts her finger up to my mouth.

"...... I can't. Get off of me, Ilya. No matter what you say, I..."
Ilya puts her finger up to my mouth.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/06bjin_.png 94px 117px
;b
The girl smiles and looks up at my bewildered face.
;p
"Geez, you don't get it, do you?http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11cjin_.png 232px 155px
;b
Look, you're just a bird in a cage right now.
It's my decision if you live or not, so you shouldn't say anything to make me mad. ;b
........I've waited 10 years. It's too boring just to kill you here, right?"
;p
"Wha.........?"http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11ajin_.png 232px 155px
;b
Her voice sounds like a girl who wants a toy.;b
I gasp, sensing a cruelty that sends a chill up my spine.
;p
"This is your last chance, Onii-chan. I'll ask you one more time." http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/02bjin_.png 230px 127px
;b
She looks up at me, full of hope.

"This is your last chance, Onii-chan. I'll ask you one more time."
She looks up at me, full of hope. ;b
"Shirou...... be mine.";b
Ilya says so as if allowing no refusal.
;p
[s]1. ........I'll have to nod for now.[/s]
[s]2. ........I can't do that.[/s]
3. ........Hey hold on a minute!
;s
I was overwhelmed and couldn't react with a calm state of mind before but..... ;b After hearing what she had to say I couldn't agree with her at all. ;b
A man shouldn't be protected by a girl, let alone a child. ;b
I'm aware of the fact that Ilya is a dangerous Master but as a man I can't simply agree to her conditions.

Ilya is still looking up to me waiting patiently for my answer. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/02bjin_.png 239px 141px
;b
After thinking about it there is only one thing I can say that will ensure Saber's safety while agreeing to Ilya's terms.
;p
"Ilya I cannot agree to those terms. I'm happy to know that you want to protect me. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/02bjin_.png 239px 141px
;a foolishshirou loop
;b I'm also aware that you are a very powerful Master but....;b
As a man it should be my role to protect you if anything. ;b
I will protect you and fight on your behalf how about it?";b
It wasn't until later I realized I said something incredible....
;p
At that Ilya froze. I don't really blame her since I'm also in shock myself for saying something insanely stupid. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/06gjin_.png 109px 134px
;b
It was anyones guess how she took my strange answer.
She was surprised from the looks of it and it showed on her innocent face that she totally didn't expect that out of me. ;bSimply shocked.
;p
"Shirou, you really are something special. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/07djin_.png 223px 141px
;bI'm really at a loss of words now because of you. ;b
So... in other words you refuse to be my Servant but you want to become my Knight......" ;b
It could just be my imagination but...did she blush a little?
;p
"I know, I said something incredibly stupid but that's the best answer I can give you at this time. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/07djin_.png 223px 141px
;b
You already have Berserker and I know I can't compare to him but if you'll have me I will be your Knight."
;p
Ilya is startled and confused but there is no hint of lies in my words. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/08ejin_.png 205px 139px
;bAs powerless as I am I still can't bare to imagine Ilya endangering herself for my sake.
;p
Tables have turned. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/08ejin_.png 205px 139px
;bShe was expecting a straight answer yet she received a strange answer.... and due to that I could notice a little panic from her.
;p
"S-Shirou.... Did you know? That you're awfully bad at lying? http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/08gjin_.png 205px 139px
;b Ilya can tell... and that's why, I know you're not lying...
;p
"S-Shirou.... Did you know? That you're awfully bad at lying? Ilya can tell... and that's why, I know you're not lying...
A-Are you sure about this?
If you betray me... http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09ajin_.png 203px 139px
;bI-I-I'll...command Berserker to eat you!"
;p
Ho boy...I don't know whether to call her cute or scary. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09ajin_.png 203px 139px
;bLucky for me she doesn't need to threaten me for I already made up my mind. ;bI will become her Knight and make sure she survives this war.
;p
"I never lie to girls and I won't go back on my words. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09ajin_.png 203px 139px
;bI know without Saber's help I don't have what it takes but I want to protect you no matter what."
;p
"I never lie to girls and I won't go back on my words. I know without Saber's help I don't have what it takes but I want to protect you no matter what." http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09ajia_jin_.png 203px 139px
;b
The moment I said that I realized I said something so embarrassing with a straight face and felt my cheeks lighting up. ;b
If it was any consolation for myself, I couldn't help but notice Ilya was also blushing..... perhaps more than me.
;p
And just then both of us heard a noise outside the door. ;a foolishshirou fadeout
;bIt was a struggle between two people for the supremacy of peeking.... ;a timetogether loop
;b
"Leysritt! Please, move over so I too can see!" ;b
"It was Sella who stated eavesdropping is unacceptable." ;b
The two maids bickered over the peeking rights until they both made their rude entrance by being pushed into the slightly open door.
;p
As they did Ilya quickly hopped off my lap recomposing herself. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09azhong_.png 270px 148px
;p
"What is the meaning of this?" http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/liz.png 43px 107px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_11.png 509px 96px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09azhong_.png 270px 148px
;b
"My apologies Ojou-sama... I tried to stop Leysritt from disturbing you." ;b
"Liar. Sella was also interested in the development between Ilya and this human."
;b
;p
"More importantly Ojou-sama. What will you do with him?http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_26.png 509px 97px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/09azhong_.png 270px 148px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/liz_6.png 43px 107px
;b
Wouldn't it be better to dispose of him?";b
"Sella is so heartless."
;b
"Er... I'm trying to be serious here."
;p
"This person is hardly a Magus and his Servant won't last long.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_36.png 509px 97px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/liz_12.png 43px 107px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11fzhong_.png 241px 185px
;b As such he will only become a hindrance to Ojou-sama.";b
"You need to relax.;b Being overprotective will have opposite effects on Ilya."
;p
The two maids continued to argue while I couldn't help but notice Ilya's gaze filled with something malicious and evil. ;a timetogether fadeout
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11fjin_.png 200px 155px
;b
It was something I recently noticed about her...;b
She just might be more evil than Tohsaka...despite her looks.
;p
"It looks like we have some guests Shirou. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11fjin_.png 200px 155px
;a adeat loop
;bI can only confirm Saber's presence and it looks like Rin is here too." ;b
"I was going to let Berserker finish off Saber but if we're going to co-operate we will need Saber alive."
;p
I don't know whether to be happy or angry. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11djin_.png 200px 155px
;bI'm happy to hear Saber came to my rescue but I'm angry because she shouldn't be in any state to be walking around. ;bAnd I'm angry because I have once again become a burden to her.
;p
"Sellahttp://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_1.png 27px 42px

;b go to the hallway and keep our guests entertained.";b
"Yes Ojousama."
;p
"If Shirou is going to fight for me. Ilya will fix Saber for you Shirou.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/11ajin_.png 200px 155px
;b But for now I need you to stay tied up just a little longer."
;p
And with that she left to follow the maids leaving me confined to the chair pondering about what she was planning.;b
I'm worried for Saber's safety but not as much as Rin. ;bSaber is safe for now but will Ilya spare Rin especially when she is in her domain? ;b
I have to catch up with them and stop Ilya and Rin from fighting each other. ;a adeat fadeout

I've known about the Einzberns castle for years now yet it still astonished me at the grand size of this place. ;a infiltration loop
;bIt took several hours to navigate through the sea of forest that concealed the castle from the public eyes.
;p
Shirou could be anywhere in this castle. ;bThankfully with Saber we're able to locate where Shirou is imprisoned and with the absence of Ilyasviel we have a good chance to rescue Shirou without running into any mortal danger.
;p
"Quickly Rin, I can sense Shirou's presence nearby."http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_120.png 385px 70px
;p
"Quickly Rin, I can sense Shirou's presence nearby."
"I don't see why we had to tag along. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/archer-18.png -57px 0px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_120.png 385px 70px
;b Clearly if you can still sense him then it's highly probable he is safe and well as long as Ilyasviel has a use for him."
;p
Saber glares at Archer and before the argument can escalate further I interrupt them. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/archer-18.png -57px 0px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_097.png 372px 126px
;b
"Enough;b, Archer we're here already so let's concentrate on the task at hand."
;p
He looks away dissatisfied with my answer but doesn't pursue the argument. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/archer-15.png -57px
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_132.png 372px 126px
;b
To be honest I'm a little worried about Shirou. ;b Saber can't be wrong about Shirou's location and since he's presumed to be alive it's too hopeful to think the Einzberns haven't done anything to him. ;b
While I can't be certain without seeing him in person, I can't rule out the possibility that Shirou's mind was tampered with.
;s
;is http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/hall%20%282%29_0.jpg
Actually the more I think about it, theres a good chance that this is a clever ploy by the Einzberns to lure us into an ambush. ;b Knowing we're up against Ilyasviel we could walk in the room only to find pieces of Shirou.
;p
From the top of my head I can think of numerous brutal methods a Magus can employ to temporarily sustain and prolong the concept of life from a dying body. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se078.mp3
;b
As long as certain conditions are met, a servant...http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se078.mp3
;b
No, the World might be tricked into believing the individual is technically alive even with half of their limbs missing with the bare minimum of blood circulating through their heart. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se078.mp3
;b
"Ugh...." the very thought of the possibilities makes me feel sick. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se078.mp3
;bBut this is the Grail War and anything can happen.
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se078.mp3
;p
"Rin?"http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_123.png 210px 70px
;b
I've been trained to deal with such events as a Magus of Tohsaka but when it comes down to the real horrors of witnessing what cruel things magus are capable of inflicting to another. ;b
I may still be a naive amateur at heart...
;p
"Let's move on. ;b The quicker we free that idiot, the quicker we can make our escape.";a infiltration fadeout
;p
But just as I say that I'm abruptly pushed away by Archer who saves me from being cleaved into two pieces. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se086.mp3
;a akumu loop
;b
"What the...!" http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se104.mp3
;b
Had Archer reacted a second later than he did, the shadow creature before us would have killed me instantly.
;p
Instead the angry shadow cleaved into the floor where I've been standing. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se104.mp3
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/liz2_17.png -141px 0px
;b
It struck with a force comparable to a cannon fire from a tank, http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se160.mp3
;b shaking the foundation we stood on and kicking up a small dust cloud that veiled the creature in obscurity.
;p

;b
"Somewhat. ;bDon't worry about me, we've got company.";b
I coughed weakly. ;bStill recovering from Archer's save that winded me.
;p
Sounds of footsteps echoed behind us while the strange shadow creature blocked our path before us. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se034.mp3
;b
As I suspected it was too good to be true to think Ilyasviel would simply leave her workshop unguarded from intruders. ;b
In the worst possible case..... ;bshe might have planned for this to happen from start.
;p
As Archer stood his ground against the creature's advance another enemy greeted us from the other side blocking our retreat.
;p
As Archer stood his ground against the creature's advance another enemy greeted us from the other side blocking our retreat.
A maid. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_4.png 265px 42px
;p
She bowed and greeted us casually. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_4.png 265px 42px
;b
"Welcome to the Einzbern Castle honored guests. ;bI am Sella and that is Leysritt, ;bwe are humble servants of our mistress Ilyasviel.";b
Analyzing our situation there was no other way to proceed without taking out these guards. ;bClearly the one that attacked us earlier was formidable while the maid blocking our retreat seemed unarmed.
;p
"Ordinarly we would ask any trespassers to leave the premise swiftly but under these circumstances I'm afraid we must not allow our guests to leave the castle with their lives."http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/sella_1.png 265px 42px
;b
Sella looked past Archer's shoulders staring into the figure of a humanoid shadow. ;b
"Leysritt. ;bPlease restrain Servant Archer at all cost." ;b
"Ja."
;p
Without a moment to spare I let loose a volley of Gandr shots at the unarmed maid in front of me.
http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se124.mp3
;b
Gandr Shots are usually a curse that weakens or worsens the diseases of the one being shot with it but this one is brutal.
;b
With such dense magical energy poured into the curse I can fire a Gandr shot that takes on a physical form.
;p
In other words. ;bIt's almost as if I am armed with a semi automatic pistol with an ample supply of ammo to outlast several gatling guns combined.
;p
Distance between me and Sella is roughly 4 meters. ;b
In this corridor she has nothing to hide against and my Gandr shots can cover the distance almost instantly at this range. ;b
The 4 meter distance seems like nothing as I shoot the maid.
;p
But my calculations fall short as the shadow creature she addressed as Leysritt jumped past me and Archer to defend Sella against my projectiles with ease. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se119.mp3

I fired continuously yet the shadow managed to repel everything.

"Damn it! What are you doing Archer?!"
;bI yell in frustration. How could a mere shadow puppet rush past a Servant so easily?
;p
Yet behind me I can hear the sounds of steel against steel. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se303.mp3

;bI quickly take a glimpse of the scene behind me. ;b
In the place of the Shadow stood another maid and Archer. Armed with a halberd clearly designed for a giant, ;b Leysritt clashed against Archer's shortswords.
;s
;is http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/archer%20%2813%29.jpg
A fight that should have ended almost immediately.
;b
With Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands Archer charges towards Leysritt. ;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se086.mp3
;b
Archer's fierce charge is tested by Leysritt's giant halberd as the maid counters him with a charge of her own. ;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se088.mp3

;bThey exchange blows. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/effects%20%287%29.jpg
;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se112.mp3
;bBoth weapons clash against one another but it seemed like Archer almost lost his balance against the great swing executed by Leysritt.
;s
Her expressions are calm and collected, stoic and lifeless compared to Archer's evident frustrations. ;b
It's understandable because even I couldn't imagine this outcome as Archer is being pushed by a mere homunculous. ;b
It's even more miraculous to witness such a large weapon handled with precision and finesse in this narrow corridor.
;p
With limited space available for Archer to make better use of his superior agility as a Servant, he has to compete against Leysritt's refined spear techniques and her longer range. ;b
His enemy knows this and closes in with each punishing blow, with no signs of retreating.
;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se088.mp3
;p
"Impossible..." http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se179.mp3
;b
Neither of us could have predicted we'd be pushed into the corner by a single homunculus. ;bIn terms of pure skill and physical abilities there would have been a great difference between Leysritt and Archer. ;b
Yet despite the difference she took advantage of everything she could in order to fight Archer on even grounds. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se303.mp3
;b Adding in her monstrous strength she wasn't just fending off Archer but beating him back, ;bforcing him to retreat step by step.
;p
Leysritt's powerful wide swings allowed little room for escape, a counterattack seemed suicidal and would only result with Archer risking a slashed stomach. ;b
And her raw physical strength immediately ruled out the option for Archer to advance risking a smashed rib should she catch him with the long shaft of her halberd.
;s
;is http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fsn/archer%20%286%29.jpg
"What on earth are you?"
;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se093.mp3
;bEven though he is fighting under a very unfavorable circumstance the difference between their skills should have made it impossible for the homunculus to force Archer on a defensive.
;p
Homunculus is a creature given birth through Alchemy by combining a human genetic material with several special substances and making the resulting embryo develop without the use of a womb.;b
Despite having the same form and life as us, homunculi are ultimately a different type of existences than us and possesses powerful Magic Circuits beyond anything current magi can achieve from birth.
;bSimply put while Magi are humans with Magic Circuits Homunculi are better defined as Magic Circuits with a human form.
;p
Homunculus in many ways were used very much like a familiar, a special assistants used by the common Magi. ;bLike familiars many Homunculus aren't designed nor equipped to engage in a fierce combat like the one Archer is fighting which is rare. ;b
I've heard rumors that even those Homunculus considered as failures by the Einzberns could easily pose a great threat against a trained Enforcer of the Association and fight on equal terms with a skilled Executioner of the Church but... ;b
To be able to fight and push Archer on the defensive. ;b I've really underestimated the Einzberns and their renown ability to create true monsters.

"She is a homunculus like me and Ojou-sama but designed to fight and kill Servants provided certain conditions are met."

;b
Despite glancing away to checkup on Archer's battle I hadn't forgotten about the enemy before me nor did I remove my index finger from pointing at Sella's direction. ;b
Gandr shots were ineffective against the maid and her magical construct but it was what kept it from attacking me head on, fearing I can send waves of bullets at the puppet master should it leave her side to attack me.
;p
"Only difference between me and Leysritt is that she has a thick demon blood coursing through her veins. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/1/fha/liz2_17.png -137px

;b
Experimental weapon developed by the Einzberns but unfortunately became a failed experiment. ";b
A failure in name only yet that failure was fighting a Servant and winning...
;p
I have to support Archer but try as I might I can't think of anything that can help him in this situation.
;b
My magic has poor aim and unless Archer has enough room to get away from Leysritt, I will blast him with my magic along with his enemy. ;b
He was essentially fighting against a real monster developed by the Einzberns. Neither a half blood demon nor a homunculus but both. ;bSomething like that shouldn't even exist! It's ridiculous yet here she was locked in a heated battle against my Archer.
;p
"Saber." I whisper so Sella can't hear my plans.
;p
"Saber." I whisper so Sella can't hear my plans. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_149.png 284px 76px
;b
I'm worried about Archer's battle behind my back but we should be able to manage. The maids are unable to stop Saber as long as they are focused on eliminating me and Archer who pose the greatest threat to them.
;p
"I will create an opening with a more powerful barrage of Gandr to restrict the enemy to concentrate on defending it's spiritual master. http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/images/0/fsn/saber_skirt_149.png 284px 76px
;bUse the opening to charge through them and find Emiya." ;b
"Understood. I will leave and return with Shirou.;b
Make an escape with Archer if I've not returned in 10 minutes."
;p
With our objectives clear I set my plans into motion by casting my spell. ;bAlthough I've forced her hands to focus on defense by relying on my Magic Crest, ;b my Gandr needs to pack a great firepower to make sure my enemy won't have a chance to stop Saber from sneaking past their checkpoint.
;p
"Fixierung, Eile Salve!"
;av http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/fsn_se131.mp3
;p
As planned the brunt of my magic is relentlessly defended by the shadow as even a single slip up could easily pack enough firepower to leave a serious dent on a Königstiger (Panzer VI "Tiger II") tank let alone a single magus.

Using that diversion Saber charged past both enemies in search of Emiya while leaving me and Archer to deal with our enemies here.http://visualnoveldai.com/files/vn/audio/0/fsn/FSN_se088.mp3

Notes:
Often thought Ilya really deserved her own route as much as Sacchin deserved a spot light of her own. Since I had some spare time and was bored of WoW I decided to hop on the old Visual Novel writer and started to mess with it again. Thankfully I'm not too rusty I hope. Unlike my previous works I think I'll try to stick with this one and finish it as long as I can.
