Broken (Archer x Lancer x Reader x Gilgamesh) (Remastered)

Chapter 21

Y/n's POV

After getting Shirou from his classroom, the four of us walk in silence. That is until we get to the stairs, when Shirou breaks the silence. "Tohsaka, Y/n. Where are you going? And who's this person following you?"

I'm about to respond when Rin does so first. "It's lunch break, so I'm going somewhere to eat lunch, obviously."

"Oh, right. Well good luck finding a good place to eat. I'll be eating in the student council room." Shirou says, about to walk off when I grab onto his arm.

"Wait!" Rin and I both exclaim in unison.

"What's wrong, forgot your lunch money?" Shirou asks, despite us both having our lunches in our hands.

"I brought my lunch from home you idiot!"

"Are you blind, I have my lunch in my hands."

Rin and I speak once more, holding out our lunches as proof. Both our lunches were in paper bags, and luckily Assassin had brought me a lunch, or I would have gone hungry.

-=Timeskip=-

After clarifying to Shirou that Assassin was in disguise, the three of us ate out food while Assassin kept an eye on what was going on around us. It was silent as we did our thing, at least until Rin spoke up.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Shirou seemed surprised by her sudden apology, probably a little confused too. I mean, I don't blame him, I am a little surprised too, but I knew what she was talking about.

"About yesterday I mean." She clarifies for our resident idiot. "I used a command seal on Archer. I ordered him to not attack you for as long as our alliance stands. I know it doesn't make up for anything but I'm sorry."

"It's not something you should be apologizing for." Shirou points out.

"Yeah. Shirou's right, it's not like you ordered him to kill him." My words seem to get a reaction  from both of them, as they looked at me in surprise. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Sorry, it's just that you called me by my first name?" The boy points out, causing me to become slightly flustered.

"Why is that so surprising? You're my friend, aren't you? Besides, I found what you said yesterday moving, even if your way of thinking has a few holes in it." I reflect, trying to hide my face out of embarrassment.

Assassin starts to giggle, causing our attention to go to her. "Sorry, sorry. Don't mind me." She says, trying to stop her giggles. When she eventually does, however, she has a serious look on her face. "I think it's time for my master, Y/n, and I to join your little alliance, officially that is. It's obvious that even after we take care of Rider and her master, we're still going to need to work with each other to take care of Caster and her master. In doing so, this guarantees that Saber won't try to murder me."

"You do have a point. We're going to have to talk to Saber and Archer later about this then." Rin says, just before the bell rings.

Shirou sighs, getting up. "Lunch break is over already."

"Wait. Stay with us for a bit." Rin tells him. "Skipping class once in a while won't do any harm."

He looks over at me, and I give him a nod, telling him that he should listen to her.

After another long moment of silence, Rin speaks up, breaking it once more. "Why are you so interested in strengthening magic."

"I've tried a bunch of other types of magic, but it's the only one I can really do." He explains, hunching down on the stairs.

"As for me, I'm able to store up power, and alter it's flow. And I can store mana in various types of objects." Rin explains her magic to the novice.

After a second, I decide to join in. "I suppose I should share." I take a quick sip of my Pepsi before continuing. "I can sense liquid within 10 yards from where I'm standing, including the moisture in the air. I can also manipulate that liquid to do whatever I desire."

"Should you guys be telling me this?" Shirou asks, turning to us.

"You shared yours, it wouldn't be fair if we didn't." Rin once again speaks, not giving me a chance to.

"Speak for yourself. I trust Shirou after being in that life or death situation together last night." I say, taking another sip of my drink. Rin ignored my comment, moving towards Shirou while lifting her sleeve up to show him her magic crest.

While Rin explains the magic crest to Shirou, I turned to Assassin who hasn't spoken in a while.

'Is everything alright?' I ask her through our link.

It takes a moment for her do even look my way, let alone, respond. 'No, I have a bad feeling something's going to happen.' She uses the link to respond back.

I'm about to ask her what about, when the ground beneath us shook violently. At this moment, I could feel a large amount of magical energy as the bounded field forms and a giant eye appears overhead.
