No extra words are needed, both parties know the vows they should make to each other.

One day... we will have another showdown.

After confirming this, he turned into a spirit body and disappeared. After a while, the barrier that Kenneth had set up in this area was also untied.

As if already forgotten, the sound of waves lapping against the rock walls and the hustle and bustle of the distant city began to gently vibrate the night air, descending on the battlefield after the destructive wind.

Suddenly I remembered Gilgamesh 2.5 in Ti's voice, and Ti's begging for forgiveness afterwards was really cute (laughing)

Chapter 53 Cute?

They had retreated a long time ago and left with their masters. Now the only ones standing on the field are the master freaks who formed the alliance.

He looked at the young man who was obviously just a human with complicated eyes.

What on earth are you here for, Shuo Yue?

Looking back at tonight's battle, not to mention that Shuo Yue's servants did not show up from beginning to end. He alone fought against He and He, and then ignored the best chance of defeat, confronting and delaying the evacuation... Finally, he invited the Master to fight, making it clear that the turmoil tonight was not over yet.

But from the beginning to the end, Shuo Yue never showed an attitude of clearing out a servant. Instead, he jumped left and right, maintaining a delicate balance.

Who knows about this kind of thing?

In response to the inquiry, Shuo Yue shrugged as if it had nothing to do with him:

To borrow the words of the King of Conquerors, 'Let the historians of later generations think about the reasons, plans, and troublesome things. We heroes just need to do whatever we want, and run on the battlefield with passion.'

That's not what a king should say. The disappointed reply was firm.

The King of Knights believes in chivalry, and her beliefs are far removed from her wilder motives.

If we meet again, I will definitely tell him the difference...

Okay, okay, I regret saying this. At some point, Shuo Yue appeared beside her and held up her left hand.

Shuoyue! I was so surprised that I didn't have time to hide away.

Not only was Shuo Yue's movements non-hostile and there was no warning, it was also because the exhaustion from successive battles made her move half a beat slower.

This is rude, Shuo Yue, please let me go!

Don't be angry, I'm here to help you. Shuo Yue's fingers moved rhythmically on the wound, and magic runes were woven out. In Artoria's surprised eyes, the effects of the curse were relieved. Numbness and pain come.

After the magic was cast, Shuo Yue let go of his hand cleanly: Although my magic has reached the realm of replacement concepts, the mystery will succumb to a higher mystery... It is a pity that the 'Destroyed Yellow Rose' after all It’s a Noble Phantasm, and the curse power it contains is too high, so I can’t completely eradicate it.”

The young man with golden eyes had a dagger in his hand, and the dagger was covered with golden lines - obviously, he had transferred part of the curse on his hand to the dagger through some kind of magic.

No, that's enough. I moved my left hand and said, Thank you very much, Shuo Yue.

Such a serious personality is also one of your cute features. The young man rubbed his chin and said this out of the blue. His expression resembled that of an unscrupulous swordsmith.

Cute? What's the meaning?

Although she has received modern knowledge, she is still confused and confused. The hair on her head swayed involuntarily. However, Irisviel, who knew a little about it behind her, covered her mouth to hold back laughter, and did not remind her in a very sinister way. .博

As if aware of her gaffe, Shuo Yue coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, Then, are you willing to go with me?

Go to the Hyatt Hotel, Kenneth's workshop? There was no answer, and Irisviel took a step forward and communicated with Sakutsu as the master.

That's right. Shuo Yue said solemnly, For you, the first thing to do is to lift the curse, and I happen to be going to challenge Kenneth's magic workshop tonight - I think between us The basis for cooperation is already in place.”

Speaking of this, why did you, Sakutue, take the initiative to break into a magician's workshop? This is very dangerous, right? Irisviel asked doubtfully.

In response, Shuo Yue smiled: Maybe it's because of curiosity.

Curious? For such a simple reason?

Curiosity is human nature, madam. Since I have known about such an interesting place for a long time, why not challenge it?

Is it really just that?

The smile on the young man's face was too sincere, but it hid a secret. Under such a strange smile, even Irisviel was speechless for a moment. After a moment, she said: So, what do you want us to do?

It's very simple. I will fight Kenneth, and you will fight against each other. In this case, no matter which side wins, the curse can be lifted, and no matter which side loses... they can't blame others.

It's a very straightforward plan, but it's also effective. Irisviel thought about it, and her smile suddenly narrowed, But in a sense, it's also protecting the little girl named 'Miyu', right?

After all, in Shuo Yue's plan, his followers never appeared.

That's how it should be. Isn't it natural for a brother to protect his sister? Shuo Yue didn't mean to hide it at all, So, happy cooperation?

I don't seem to have any reason to refuse... Irisviel was about to answer when he suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered something. The wife's expression gradually became embarrassed. She looked at Shuo Yue again and Zhang He opened his mouth, but suddenly fell silent.

I'm sorry, Shuo Yue...

Ah, I understand. Did that guy Kiritsugu say something? Sakuyue interrupted his wife's apology and curled her lips in private.

Although I had expected Emiya Kiritsugu to refuse, I didn't expect him to react so quickly. Originally, the estrangement between him and him would have been even deeper...

Tell Kiritsugu that although I don't expect him to repay his kindness, at least tonight, he can move slower and let me enjoy the magic competition...otherwise he will regret it.

The request was rejected. After Shuo Yue said such a meaningless sentence, he got into the car neatly, turned the handle, and disappeared from the sight of his wife and He.

Silently staring in the direction Shuo Yue left, there was no trace of the excitement or haggard look on that beautiful side face that she had survived the deadly fight just now. The majestic posture of the girl knight in armor standing on the battlefield is like a painting, beautiful and inviolable.

Thank you. Thanks to you, I can survive.

I smiled in response to Irisviel's thanks. I can face the enemy without any worries because I have you behind me. Irisviel.

Irisviel once again deeply realized how strong, resolute, and gentle she is.

Although she looks a bit younger than herself, she still looks like an immature girl - her body is so petite and her wrists are so slender, but physically and mentally, she is a perfect knight and a true hero.

Winning or losing begins now, Irisviel. Tonight's situation is just the first night of a series of battles that will follow.

yes.

All opponents are strong enemies. The heroes summoned from different eras... none of them are easy to deal with. He murmured.

Even the young man named Shuo Yue, during the battle, his awe-inspiring and powerful figure made everyone forget the fact that he was not a heroic spirit, but a man of this era.

But who would argue with him when he calls himself a hero?

Even though there were so many heroes competing with her, there was no anxiety or fear in the girl's tone. Facing the impending storm, she just secretly cheered up.

This excitement, this feeling of passionate blood will never change no matter in any world or in any era. It is the proof of the spirit of being a hero.

Staring at the starry night sky, the King of Knights whispered.

This is...the Holy Grail War.

Chapter 54 Preparations in front of the Hyatt Hotel

above tall buildings

After Sakusuki left, Emiya Kiritsugu did not take back the gun, but took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, lit it skillfully, let the smoke soak into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled it.

White smoke curled up and dissipated in the air.

Raising his arm, one of the three command spells on the back of his hand dimmed slightly and returned to its original state.

Order it with the command curse to cover Master Shuo Yue and kill him completely.

After retreating, this strategy is undoubtedly the most reasonable and effective. Even if it cannot kill him, it can still cause great injuries to him in a short period of time.

But in the end... Emiya Kiritsugu gave up.

There is no doubt that the self-proclaimed knight will not agree to such behavior, but as long as one more command spell is paid, the disobedient machine will run smoothly as if it is greased.

But at that time, will he be greeted by the cold spear point or the ruthless blow from Shuoyue, the man who trampled Einzbern under his feet?

Chivalry... turns out to be such a pedantic thing. The man who was still injured sighed softly, Why can't the Holy Grail also cleanse the memory of the follower?

Also, the last words left by that young man.

[Tell Kiritsugu that although I don’t expect him to repay his kindness, at least tonight, he can move slower, allowing me to enjoy the magic competition.

The coldness that had been seen through spread through my body, and an icy wind blew in the freezing night.

As a killer lurking in the dark, waiting for opportunities, the most taboo thing is for others to see through his actions.

That one, too, was originally lured away by his deception, but came back because of the Master's reminder, almost forcing him to a desperate situation.

...Kotomine Kirei, the man he had been wary of before the war started.

I am still being targeted by him.

The scorching temperature kept approaching, almost scalding his lips. Emiya Kiritsugu threw the burnt cigarette butt out and quietly watched the spark go out.

It's not that he's not a warrior, and he doesn't have the so-called sense of honor. Facing Kotomine Kirei and Sakuzuki, what he has is by no means the joy of meeting an opponent, but fear, a fear of the future.

Can he win the Holy Grail? Can you fulfill your wish?

Is Illya okay? His wife Irisviel…

There was severe pain in his heart, but Emiya Kiritsugu's expression did not even loosen. He just remained silent for a long time before he started to put away his gun and made a decision in his heart.

Tonight.

Plan ahead.

The dancing cyan fluorescent lights passed through the streets of Fuyuki City.

Just at a certain corner, the wind-like motorcycle stopped briefly. When it started again, there was a cute girl in the back seat of the car.

Miyu, who had taken off her formal attire and was wearing a printed kimono, hugged Sakuyue's waist with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Have you met Kiritsugu? The young man's laughter came from the front.

Miyu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

After that, they didn't say much to each other, just quietly enjoying the night breeze.

It's like the years that we briefly had in the past.

After an unknown amount of time, the motorcycle slowly stopped in front of a tall building.

This is currently the highest building in Fuyuki City and the best place to overlook Fuyuki City - the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Not only is it the highest in altitude, the Hyatt Hotel's hardware facilities and software services are also unparalleled in Dongmu City. It can be called the first sign of the hotel industry. It was of course chosen by the noble Lord of the Clock Tower Kenneth as his residence and hotel. Temporary base. As early as one month before his arrival, a vassal of the Archibalud family had reserved the presidential suite on the 32nd floor of the top floor, showing their wealth and wealth.

This is it, we're here.

Sakuyue got out of the car. Even wearing a kimono did not affect his actions. He held Miyu's hand, and the two figures, one large and one small, wearing printed kimonos, raised their eyes and looked forward.
