Episode 14: In the past, superiors, today's enemies.....
『 "This move, you cannot escape—Vortex Spear!!"
General Livera activated his Teigu, 'Water Dragon'.
Whoosh!
Brand, leaping in mid-air, found it difficult to change direction, struck by dozens of water columns rising from the lake, cracks appearing on his armor, blood spilling from his mouth.
"It's just being splashed with water!! My fighting spirit will never die!"
Brand roared.
"I see. Such an attack is indeed not enough to defeat you."
"Of course, I understand... so I reserved the strongest blow, prepared just for you!"
General Livera recalled the days when he fought alongside Brand.
He understood Brand's extraordinary resilience better than anyone.
General Livera raised the Water Dragon Teigu high, pouring all his strength into it, roaring: "Water Dragon's Judgment!"
In an instant, dozens of giant dragons made of water soared into the sky, sweeping towards Brand.
Under the terrifying water pressure, Brand's bones creaked, and he felt unbearable pain.
After a few seconds, General Livera thought he had solved this former friend...
"When you say lines like that! You usually can't handle your opponent!"
Aaaaaah——!
Brand descended from the sky, knocking away the Three Beasts who attempted to sneak an attack, and then praised Tatsumi, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries:
"Without Teigu's assistance, it's remarkable that you can survive in such a battle."
"I heard that your Teigu will automatically unbind after taking maximum damage. It seems it's true!"
"The outcome is clear."
General Livera revealed a smug smile, looking at Brand, who had lost the power of his Teigu. 』

"I didn't expect to face Livera in the future."
Brand looked at General Livera, his former superior, in the video with a complex expression... a mix of emotions for a moment.
After all, the other party was the general he respected the most.
Unexpectedly.
The future him would actually face the other party like this.

~Emiya Residence~
Artoria held a chicken leg in her left hand and a cola in her right, saying vaguely:
"Shi...rou!, give me another serving!"
She swallowed the chicken leg in her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a hamster's.
"Are... these people also Heroic Spirits?"
"It seems like... there isn't a female character with scissors in history, right?"
Emiya Shirou was a little confused, lowered his head, and began to ponder and search his memory.
....
『 "Stop pretending you and I are not much better." Brand wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, weakening Livera's fighting spirit.
"Look, blood is seeping from your ears, Livera!"
These old friends who reunited after a long absence, even though they were facing each other with swords, still joked with each other.
"Say, Brand, are you interested in following General Esdeath?"
"With your ability, the position of vice-general is just around the corner!"
General Livera sincerely persuaded Brand. He longed to be able to serve General Esdeath alongside Brand and was unwilling to kill his former comrade...
But Brand was unmoved, shaking his head and refusing:
"You are disillusioned with officialdom, perhaps your current position makes you comfortable...But I stand on the side of the people!"
Brand neatly straightened his pompadour, stating that his position was contrary to Livera's.
"Since neither of us can use Teigu..." Brand looked solemn, staring at General Livera.
"Then let's use swords to determine who is superior!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Livera quickly took out a syringe filled with green liquid from his pocket, resolutely stabbed it into his neck, and pushed in the liquid.
That ominous enhancement potion rapidly increased Livera's strength.
"Big brother, this guy seems a bit off!"
Livera and Brand drew their swords at the same time, approaching each other, their swords clashing, as fast as lightning, almost impossible for mortal eyes to follow this speed.
"Clang, clang, clang——!"
"A wounded person can still have such skill?"
Tatsumi looked at the fierce battle between the two in shock while covering the wound on his hand, preventing the blood from flowing further. 』

"Tatsumi! You blockhead, don't you know to go up and help? Standing there in a daze..."
Seeing this, Mine's lungs were about to explode with anger. She rushed to Tatsumi in one stride, reached out and pinched his neck,
Instantly, Tatsumi fell into a suffocating experience of pain and happiness....
It's just that the feeling of being unable to breathe made him unable to enjoy the soft touch behind his neck.
"Aiya.... Hmph.... Mine, I was wrong, spare... me...!"
Tatsumi immediately admitted his mistake. After all, reasoning with women...
This is the truth that Big Brother Brand and Lubbock gave: the wisdom of life.
