"Please, no, not like this!" Medea says while shaking Souichirou before raising a hand but stopping.
"He's already…"
"But why aren't you-" Cu's question is cut off when he has to dodge a magical missile going for his head.
His shock is palpable when Medea stands up, clearly unharmed, and after gently placing her dead master on the ground, she takes to the air. A dozen eye shaped sigils appear behind her like malevolent wings before glowing, an impending barrage incoming.
"So much for the alliance…" Kazuma mutters.
"Alliance?"
"I'll tell you later, we got to go!"
"I'm sure I can haaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddd-"
Cu appears to be in a bubble and moving very slowly.
Kazuma looks up at Medea, flinching under her deadened gaze.
"…I know you didn't mean to cause this Kazuma, but I will not forgive that…blue thing." She says with a sad smile.
Cu slowly starts to scowl before glancing to the side in equally slow shock.
"As annoyed as I am with him, I knew he didn't mean any harm." Kazuma says and Medea's gaze refocuses onto Kazuma.
"…What are you saying?"
"I'm not letting you kill him. He pulled me out of the fire and is a decent guy…even if the last few minutes don't show that."
"…I can appreciate shows of loyalty, but do you really think you can stop-GAH!?" An arrow of extreme force nearly hitting her distracts Medea enough to break the bubble on Cu. Archer steps closer with a scowl.
'I cannot believe I am saving him in this time line…there is something fundamentally wrong with this scenario…' Archer thinks before they leave the temple.
"How did you get past the purple guy?"
"He never paid me any mind….he is oddly focused on Saber." Archer says, gesturing to the sound of steel against steel. Archer gives a whistle and the sound continues a bit more before Saber accompanies them down the path, stray shots of magic chasing after them.
A few minutes later they are further into town and take a moment for Kazuma to catch his breath. Rin and Saber arrive during that time.
"What happened up there?" Rin asks, making Kazuma frown and Cu look to the side.
"Originally, Caster was going to cut my arm off for my seals but then we started talking and almost formed an alliance between our groups, when he arrived and killed her master."
"I was aiming for her! I still don't know how she is unscathed…"
"Maybe true love from her master shielded her from your Gae Bolg~?" Archer asks with crossed arms, one eye closed, and the snarkiest smirk.
"Don't be absurd Red."
"…He actually might be right." Rin says.
"What?" Everyone present asks.
"I only somewhat recall it from my studies, but I have heard of a conceptual shield like that being capable of deflecting powerful curses, though usually at the cost of one of their lives…To be honest I thought it was ne of those cases where folk tale seeped into mage craft or so forgotten that it was little more than a story but…" Rin trails off and Cu Chulainn is silent with an open mouth for a minute.
"I was joking, but for true love to stop his spear is…Gahaha!" Archer starts to shake, a genuine smile on his face.
"…You're telling me that my cursed spear, that I went through hellish training for from an immortal devil of a teacher for, that rewrites the laws of this world, was stopped, not by luck, not by a shield dedicated to countering it, or constitution but by…love? And a love born from a week?!" Cu asks, further making Archer cackle.
"More like three days if that couple I saw was them." Kazuma says, further deflating Cu.
"You're also forgetting bird hunting techniques." Saber says.
"You want to test your luck again!?"
"Wait, the Samurai cut your Noble Phantasm?" Kazuma asks and Cu remains quiet. Archer bites back a laugh as they all head back to a sleepless night.
Except Cu who opens a small sake bottle while watching the moon.
===
Not long after their escape, Medea stares at Kojiro.
"How did Lancer get past you?"
"He…kicked me into the forest after distracting me." Kojiro says, the hairs on his neck standing up.
'She was never pleasant but this is more intense than before…' Kojiro thinks as Medea starts chuckling lowly.
"So why didn't you pick yourself back up and stopped him?"
"Saber…called me Musashi after I told her my name, and I lost my composure and I, blinded in my rage was-" The glow of a command seal on Medea's hand stops Kojiro.
"So because she taunted you, let not one, but two servants bypass you?"
"There was a second?" Kojiro asks, instantly regretting the question when he sees Medea's eye twitch and smile.
"…Any other assassin could have done better than you. But I know how to fix that thin skin of yours~." Medea says before issuing her command.
Kojiro pales.
"T-that is insane!" He says as he slowly turns his blade onto himself, bringing it closer to his face.
"You'll live~."
===
As Cu takes another swig, Taiga sits down next to him.
"You know, burdens and drink are both better shared."
"Probably, but I can't really share this…" Cu says.
"You like it that much?"
"I meant the burden. The drink is watery."
"Then you'll probably like this better." Taiga says before placing a bottle of whiskey and a glass in his hand.
"…On one hand I appreciate this…on the other I have to ask you to not tell anyone this."
"Why?" Taiga asks while pouring out shots.
"The lad suspects me of being a drunk because of my hair color for some reason…"
"You're not a drunk…no drunk moves like you did during that spar session…speaking of which…" Taiga says before standing up and downing her shot to go back inside a moment. Cu looks over while sipping. Then he smiles when Taiga comes out with two bamboo poles.
"You really want that rematch huh? Do you even know how to use a pole arm?"
"I have some experience from years ago. Lot of the basics translate into each other, or do you quake in fear of losing your narrowly won victory~?"
"Hardly~." He says and they do a test match.
Taiga loses horribly but is enjoying the match.
Kazuma looks on in flat jealousy from inside the building.
'…Figures he gets the babe to nurse his ego and play with him. Better leave before they opt for a more private match…such bull.' Kazuma thinks before going down the hall.
"I know you're there." Cu says and Kazuma freezes.
"Sharp as ever L- I mean Cu…" Archer says in a flat tone, his stare even.
Until Taiga tosses him a bamboo staff.
"You're turn!"
"What?"
"If you're staying here you need to-"
"I'm just visiting; I'll be gone in a few minutes." He says before placing the staff against the door.
"…I'm keeping an eye on you. Don't want you corrupting Shirou." Taiga says, leaving Archer quietly flabbergasted. They both wait until she leaves to speak again. Cu materializes his spear while glaring at Archer.
"…How the Hell do you have Caladbolg?"
"He's already…"
"But why aren't you-" Cu's question is cut off when he has to dodge a magical missile going for his head.

Alliance is called off and Caster is still alive
