"He's waking up!" Illya spoke seeing Shirou slightly move his fingers.
Rin hearing that quickly escaped the uncomfortable conversation with Kirei.
"Shirou wake up! You have to explain why you removed the shroud!" Voicing her irritation while putting her arms in front of her chest.
Only silence waited for her, Shirou even when moving his fingers was not awake.
Kirei was not really in a good mood. He had to have surgery on Shirou to connect the servant's arm, later that night Ayala came to destroy his servant and church and just two days later he had to have another surgery on Shirou this time lasting 9 hours.
It was currently evening. The dusk was ending, the purplish dark blue hue painting the sky.
"He is fine... His soul just doesn't want to wake up, take him away!" Kirei's voice was flat yet he was beyond tired.
Rin understood, 'he is basically telling us to get out.'
Rin put Shirou on her back and carried him out, "Why are you so heavy!"
---
"Rule breaker!" Zigzag shaped a jagger sword materialized in his hand.
Without a second thought he pierced his body.
"Rule breaker!" Another one materialized yet shortly after he stabbed himself again.
This cycle continued for a long while.
On the ground millions of broken hilts with each second increasing.
"Rule breaker!" Each time he created this sword he glimpsed Medea's life, Over and over again.
Betraying her kingdom just for her lover, having two children, getting betrayed by the person she loved, later being kicked out with her home with her kids, and finally killing her lover's new wife, and killing her own children.
Every detail of her life yet Shirou didn't stop he continued to experience her life over and over again.
The rule breaker in his hands increases in rank.
The first time he created one was the rank of F, the original was only at C+ yet at this moment Shirou made a copy better than the original being at B rank.
Which was never heard of, nobody would even think of a copy being better than the original.
Shirou finally stopped when the rank couldn't increase beyond B+ rank.
'It cannot increase beyond it...' with the last time stabbing himself he finally started to wake up.
The swords hilts vanishing one by one in the empty room.
Shirou woke up after all of them disappeared. He was being carried by Rin in the park.
Rin sensing he was awake and dropped him.
Illya also looked back at Shirou getting dumped on the ground.
Rin angrily looked at Shirou pinching him from his ear. "Tell me why you took off the shroud!"
Shirou could feel his body's magical circuits were fully closed but it didn't really stop him.
His hellish training has made him closer to his origin.
"Rule breaker!" In front both Rin and Illya Shirou created Rule breaker since his magical circuits were closed it wasn't the better version or near the original but it was done.
D- rank. If he had magical circuits he was confident to use even the original one to free Sakura.
"Rule breaker?" Rin looked at the sword at Shirou's hand and back at Shirou. Her anger halted at the moment.
Soon she understood why he showed the rule breaker.
A sword of betrayal used by an ancient mage Medea, its power is weak but it has the divine power to sever any magical bond, dispel familiars, and break illusions or contracts.
"Shirou do you think you can free the servants with that?" Illya spoke looking at the sword fiercely.
"That will be impossible... I cannot save Berserker."
Illya felt let down.
Shirou getting up instantly started to stumble.
Rin in a flash grabbed him helping him stabilize. "Your body balance currently unstable. To save you we had to block that arm."
Shirou couldn't even move his left arm or even his fingers.
With the help of Rin they arrived at Emiya resident.
There was no need to delay since right now they could save Sakura, they headed into the room she was supposed to rest.
Just to see it was empty.
On the table was a key... Door key of his house.
Seeing this Shirou immediately started running towards Matou resident.
Illya checking the surroundings also rushed towards one of the guest rooms.
Rin didn't know where Shirou had run but Illya was still running in the house so she followed her.
Opening the guest room where Ryouma was resting was also empty.
At the table was a note. [Einzbern's child if you're looking for me, I'm in the yard.]
Illya quickly ran to the yard to see Ryouma gently yet very precisely planting a flower.
The precision was better than most surgeons.
Gently placing the flower Ryouma looked up, his hollow eyes looking at everyone.
Rin was kinda taken back by his eyes as this was the first time she was meeting the genuine Ryouma not controlled by Ayala.
"Hmmm... Sorry for my rudeness. Eldest daughter of Tohsaka!"
Illya asked. "Do you know why Sakura left?!"
"I do, she wanted to stop her family... Mostly not wanting Shirou to suffer." Ryouma said it like it didn't have anything to do with him.
"Tell me! Did you have anything to do with her?!" Illya's sharp question stunned Rin.
*Clap. Clap.* "Quite sharp of you, truly befitting of the eldest Emiya child." Ryouma partly raised his lips in mockery.
Rin hearing that was more puzzled. "What did you tell her!" Rin wasn't going to stay silent, she also needs information.
"Oh, glad you are following our conversation," Ryouma smirked yet his eyes were cold as if a blade was put in front of her neck, "I told her she had an easier life, if she wants to see Shirou suffer, if not destroy the things that are blocking her happy life."
Rin has already gone to the Matou household when she had Archer and knew that the torment Sakura endured yet Ryouma saying she had it easy, boiled her anger.
Without a second thought she started gathering magic at her fingers ready to unleash magic bullets.
