The temporary stage was built next to the highway and the preparations on the track were completed at the same time as Illya and Olga Marie gave the opening remarks.

With two rows of black coverings lined up on one side of one of the four-lane lanes, there's no doubt that this is the car you need for off-road racing.

"Special thanks to the Fujimura group for this off-road race, who provided the course selection and planning, as well as the vehicles. The maintenance of the vehicle was carried out by my favorite mother, Alice Phil, and handsome father, Kiritsugu Emiya, so I would like them to say a few words. ”

As she spoke, Illya had already left the stage and made her way to the start of the track with the blessing of the flying technique.

At the moment of landing, a pair of men and women wearing blue technician suits and holding various tools lifted two covers and climbed out from under the car.

The man lit a cigarette and sighed, "Why did it become like this?"

The woman smiled brightly and kept waving: "Everyone must come on." ”

"In order to ensure fairness and justice, the starting order is determined by lottery, and the racing lady is invited. ”

At this time, Olga Marie also picked up the microphone and beckoned to the other side.

Then, a tall man with short purple hair and wearing a crop top skirt for racing girls walked up with a lottery box.

Cúchulainn, who was waiting for the draw below, involuntarily covered his nose and trembled in his voice: "Ba, Bazet~"

The racing girl, who had a natural expression, also became timid, her body shrunk, and her weak appearance was completely different from her usual sassy and heroic appearance: "Because, because, Lord said that there were not enough people, so let me ...... yes, isn't it inappropriate?"

"No, no, no, it's too appropriate. Ah, what a feast for the eyes, ahahaha. ”

Cú Chulainn smiled heartily, and Bazet was even more embarrassed.

"Really, really, you actually laughed at me. ”

"No, no, that's pretty good. ”

Cú Chulainn teased his master, and at the same time did not forget to give a thumbs up to Loreleia not far away. The latter was indifferent, and in the blink of an eye, he found Shinji staring at him with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Well, I remember you were the one who won the Race Girl job when the lottery was drawn. ”

"Oh, do you want me to dress like that in public? (Huo Da + bad eyes)"

"Well, it's a bit of a bad fit, though I'm curious about how you look like a race car girl. ”

Loreleia looked at Cúchulainn, then Shinji, and sighed, "So you men." It's impossible to be a racing girl, but I've got a professional racing suit ready. I don't know what you think about turning the Holy Grail War into this form? ”

"Because most people don't really like to fight and kill, especially for servants, a rare second life should be enjoyed. ”

Loreleia is no less than Shinji when it comes to knowing the Servant, so after the initial period of shock, Shinji is the first among the Masters to agree to Gilgamesh's proposal, even though the two of them have been fighting to the death a few minutes ago.

"That Altila—" The woman, who called herself the "King of Destruction", said in the end that she did not understand and disagreed.

"She's the same, she just hasn't realized it yet. ”

"Huh?"

"Have you asked her about her wishes?"

Loreleia was stunned for a moment and replied, "Destroy everything, smash civilization?"

"That's her instinct or duty, but it's not her real desire. Have you ever seen her dreams? When the connection between the servant and the master reaches a certain level, they will see each other's dreams. ”

"Ahh

With that, Loreleia remembered. She did have a wacky dream with Altila as the main character.

The dream is very monotonous, very monotonous, and Artilla, dressed in herdsman's clothes, rides a horse and gallops all the way.

Mercedes all the time.

Running through the grassland, jumping over the river, passing through the yurts, and seeing countless cattle and sheep.

At the end of the dream, the girl finally stopped. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the wind blows on the hillside. showed an innocent smile, and the beauty was so beautiful that even Lorelea, who was of the same sex, was amazed.

Because it was too different from the perceived Altila, she directly classified this dream as the product of her own crankiness, and now it seems that this is not the case?"

Shinji's gaze crossed over to Loreleia, to the female military god who was obviously not used to this kind of occasion.

"What do you think is the most impressive thing in her life, which shatters the pride of the Roman Empire, and makes half of Europe tremble in her iron hooves?"

Loreleia nodded instinctively, but Shinji shook his head.

"No, none of these are any, these major events in history are just a passing moment for her. What she really imprints in her heart is actually a lot of things that seem ordinary and ordinary. Riding horses on the grassland, shepherding sheep and horses – don't you think it's incredible?"

"Ahh ”

"Actually, it's easy to understand, just like many people think that you are ruthless and domineering, but they ignore that you are also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires. It's the same with Artilla, she's always been curious about life outside of a warrior. ”

Shinji's mind recalled what the self-claustrophobic giant god had said to him in the Moon World in a wistful tone.

"What would I be if I wasn't a warrior?"

"Is it as a free traveler who travels the world on horseback?"

"Is it the people of Europe who have seen the land, the wheat, and the bread baked in a hot oven?"

"Are you hunting animals and birds?"

"Is it to learn the thing called writing, and to write a book written by that?"

"Or, shyly snuggled in someone's arms?"

"I don't know. ”

"What the hell is going to be like?"

At that time, Shinji said so.

"You'll know, and one day, you'll know. ”

Now, Shinji still thinks so, and is more and more convinced.

Seeing the heart-wrenching tenderness of the man in front of her again, Loreleia sighed with a complicated expression.

"You, really know her, between you—"

"You'll find out later. ”

"Why not now?"

"Because the lottery has been drawn, the game is about to start. ”

Shinji stretched out his hand and pointed to see that Fiore's board had already marked the order of the car and the corresponding participants.

"I have to do things one by one, focus on what you taught me in front of me, and continue the unfinished victory. ”

"Okay, let's fight it out!"

Lorelei Lea was no longer entangled, walked to her servant, and the two walked into the arena together.

Behind them, Shinji clenched his right hand.

In the deepest part of the palm, no, to be precise, in the soul under the body, a brilliant rainbow light quietly bloomed.
