At this moment, Shirou's mouth was sealed with duct tape, and his hands and feet were tied with ropes. Even though he forcibly kept his composure, it was useless to keep going like this.
He began to scrutinize the layout of the room, trying to find an opportunity.
At this time, Shirou moved his bound hands and found that because Uryuu Ryunosuke thought he was just a child, the rope was not tied very tightly.
There is no doubt that this is an opportunity!
Shirou observed Ryunosuke's movements as he quietly moved his hands and began to break free from the rope.
At the same time, Ryunosuke hummed a summoning spell while drawing the pattern of the magic circle on the floor of the living room with blood.
"It's the fifth time, it's the fifth time, it should be okay, right?"
Uryuu Ryunosuke danced a funny dance as he artistically smeared the remaining blood on the walls of the room.
Then he walked over to Tohsaka Rin, the girl who was huddled in the corner and bound up, and leaned over to see her frightened expression.
Then he reached out and tore off the tape that had sealed her mouth.
Rin, who was only an elementary school student, was obviously frightened. Tears swirled in her eyes, and even though she could speak now, she was still so scared that the sound of her crying was extremely small.
"Hey, little ghost, do you think there really are demons in this world?"
Uryuu Ryunosuke asked the little girl who was trembling all over. He tilted his head to watch her frightened reaction while pretending to think, enjoying it.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the boy with short brownish-red hair who had also been kidnapped.
"Oops, oops~ Are you awake? It looks like she can't answer me, so why don't you answer this question?"
Uryuu Ryunosuke, ignoring the panicked girl Tohsaka Rin, instead set his eyes on Shirou, who showed no fear at all.
He didn't really want the girl to answer his question; he just wanted to see a frightened expression and reaction, which would make him happy.
"Of course there are. Aren't you one?"
Shirou answered Ryunosuke's question perfunctorily while secretly untying the rope.
Seemingly satisfied with Shirou's answer, Ryunosuke laughed.
"Yes~ You know what? Newspapers and magazines often refer to me as a demon. But isn't it strange? I can kill this person by myself, yet it only takes a bomb to overtake me in an instant."
Children are very good, and Ryunosuke likes children the most. He likes to kidnap them and let them die in despair, which makes him feel fun.
"Well, forget it, let them say I'm a demon. But if there is a real demon in this world besides me, then it would be a real pity for the real demon."
Uryuu Ryunosuke suddenly became lost in thought.
"Isn't that a good thing, right? Is it good to pretend like 'Uryuu Ryunosuke is a demon'? If you think so, you have to admit it now, na~ Do real demons exist?"
The more Uryuu Ryunosuke spoke, the more excited he became. He was usually a man of few words, but whenever he saw blood, especially when he was around the dying, he would become very talkative.
Only these two children were left unkilled because the blood collected before was enough to draw the magic array, and there was no other meaning yet.
He was going to wait for the ritual to be completed before considering another interesting way to kill the two children.
While Uryuu Ryunosuke was thinking like this, the rope on Shirou's body had become loose, but Ryunosuke was negligent.
Because Ryunosuke hadn't turned on the lights, the room was dim, and Shirou was now able to completely break free.
'What's next...'
Shirou frowned, letting the gears of his brain spin at a rapid pace, thinking of a way to escape.
At this time, Shirou saw a fruit knife reflecting the faint light in the room.
The sharp blade emitted a cold glow, and the blood stained on it hinted at the abuse of the past.
Shirou immediately understood that this was probably his only chance.
If he missed it because of hesitation, the final ending would definitely be that he and Tohsaka Rin would be buried here, adding pleasure to the unscrupulous interest of Uryuu Ryunosuke, a murderer.
If you don't seize this opportunity, you'll die!
There was no time left to be afraid. Put your fears behind you and take a gamble!
While Uryuu Ryunosuke was arranging the magic array according to the magic book, Shirou stood up without hesitation and rushed forward to grab the fruit knife!
"What!?"
Hearing this, Uryuu Ryunosuke was immediately alert. He turned around to see Shirou, who had broken free from the rope and rushed towards him with a fruit knife.
He was just a primary school student, but he made Uryuu Ryunosuke feel palpitations.
Immediately after, in pupils that widened in disbelief, Uryuu Ryunosuke reflected the figure of Shirou holding a fruit knife and stabbing at him at a very fast speed.
He is just an ordinary little ghost, but he can do it like this!?
Ryunosuke felt incredible in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement that bordered on madness.
A maniacal smile appeared on his face, and his heart was full of thoughts of torturing the outlier in this child.
At this time, Shirou, who reached Ryunosuke's side, suddenly jumped up, and the fruit knife in his hand slammed into Ryunosuke's neck!
Thorny————!!
Blood splattered out. Uryuu Ryunosuke's throat was slit, and blood gushed out like an open faucet!
"Success... success..."
Shirou's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and his body weakened from the sudden relaxation of his high concentration.
The reason why he didn't fall directly now was because Shirou's mental power surpassed ordinary people.
Shirou, who succeeded in killing Uryuu Ryunosuke, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He set his eyes on Tohsaka Rin, who was tied up, and was about to go over and untie her rope.
Suddenly, Shirou saw that the girl was struggling hard, and her mouth, covered by duct tape, was whimpering with all her might, as if she wanted to remind Shirou of something.
Shirou, noticing this, suddenly felt a tightening in his heart and hurriedly looked back with the fruit knife.
But as soon as he turned his head, another knife stabbed straight into Shirou's heart.
After doing this, Uryuu Ryunosuke finally lost his ability to act. His behavior just now was a final counterattack before he died, catching Shirou off guard.
"Ugh... Ah..."
Shirou felt his vision blur, and his body seemed to be paralyzed, gradually losing control.
Shirou, slowly falling to the ground, could only see Tohsaka Rin, a crying girl cowering in the corner.
The next second, Fujimaru Shirou died.
In the end, in a world where he couldn't feel anything and could barely maintain consciousness, Shirou heard a prompt from the system.
