Part 237: Third death / Tiger Dojo 15

There are two ways to trigger the first Tiger Dojo in Unlimited Blade Works. Both involve running away from Berserker, leaving Saber to fight him on her own.

"…There's no crack in the glass… I wonder how Tohsaka made up for these pieces."
I murmur to myself.
…I don't know why, but I don't feel like turning the lights on.
I hide in the darkness as if to hide my weakness.

"……"
What I should be thinking about.
What I should say.
I'm running away from these things.
…The people that were here until a few hours ago.
The people who were by my side until a few minutes ago.
I have to ask myself if it was right to leave them behind, but I can't bring myself to get out of the dark.

The wall clock points to three.
…It's been thirty minutes since then.
No matter who won, I'm sure the battle is over now.

""
I should go back.
When I raise my head to turn the lights on and cheer myself up…

Music: Stop

A sharp pain runs through my left hand.

"…The Command Spell…?"
The color has faded from my Command Spell.
Even though the shape is still there, the bright light that proves I am Saber's Master has disappeared.
I understand instinctively what that means.
"Saber…!"
I follow my instinct and run out from the darkness.

" ? , "
The one in front of me sneers and tells me I am stupid.
The one in front of me is laughing that I have no way of surviving without my Servant.

"Oh, ……"
…That's right.
Emiya Shirou will be killed the instant Saber is lost.
As I don't have a way to protect myself, I have no way to survive without Saber.

But I didn't realize that, and I secluded myself.
This is the result.
It doesn't matter if I'm in the house or if I run away somewhere.





Because…
The instant my Command Spell lost its brightness, my life was lost as well

…Huh?

Music: Stop



Music: Time Together


Well, the game is in its second arc.
The shocking route of Tohsaka-san has started. Do you have anything to say, Ilya-chan?


Ouuu… I'm sorry I lied to you…

Taiga:
Yes. Repent of your misdeeds.
It does look like the title changed, but it's the same on the inside. Rather






Probably. Unlike me, you aren't that fascinating as a character.
We should put the focus on me and make Taiga a guest





Ilya:
It's because Shirou was a coward.
Oh, the killer is still unknown.

It's obvious if you listen to the voice.


He was killed instantly once he left his house.
You should go on and fight Berserker since Archer is in fighting condition this time. You should get them back for defeating you before.


Oh, are you sure it'd go so well?
No matter which hero Archer may be, I don't think he's a big enough threat for me.


Hm. W-Well, we won't know unless we try.
We're not in Saber-chan's route this time.




Ugh… You're starting to show your true form, you devilish child.


By the way, I've been wondering for a long time. Can I ask you something, Ilya-chan?
How strong are you as a magus?
Are you as strong as Tohsaka-san?


Me? Hmm… Strictly speaking, I'm not a magus.
I'm more like Caster. I didn't study magic from the time I was born. But rather, I already knew magic at birth. Do you get the difference?


Hmm? I don't, and I don't want to know.
So in short, you're really a devil?










…Geez, asking me such a boring question.
You'll eventually find out who I am whether you want to or not.


Well, let's continue on for Shirou.
