XXXVIII - Be sure to lock the doors and windows at night

The moment of farewell was only about a minute or two.

Because Emiya Shirou insisted on going back to the Yellow Springs to see what was going on, he didn't need to be counted on the way back to Einzberen Castle. As for the blonde knight Joan of Arc, out of safety and various considerations, it was only natural that he would go with him.

After all, no matter how powerful the ordinary Emiya Shirou is, he only has less than half of his usual strength now, right? At the very least, there has to be someone who can lift the restrictions for him to follow him.

Of course, what the two of them won't know is that at least so far, these have been calculated.

Leaving with them were Aozaki Orange and Shirahime Elquet. As for Aoko Aozaki and the two ceremonies, they stayed behind and went back with Alice Phil.

The crowd on the road was silent, not that Alice Phil didn't want to chat, the problem was that the atmosphere between the other four people was too solemn, and as the only person here who didn't know much about things and was a non-combatant, Alice Phil couldn't speak even if she wanted to.

After a long time, it was finally, until everyone had already walked back to the forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, and when the castle of Einzberen was already close in front of them, Saber asked softly, "How is the situation?"

"It's terrible." This is Aoko Aosaki's answer. With a calmness that was different from the optimistic appearance just now, Aoko Aozaki slowly added, "Well, although it's terrible, it doesn't mean that there were any casualties on our side last night." On the other hand, although we didn't succeed in killing the guy with the bulging eyeballs yesterday, she still cut the guy's book in half with a knife, in other words, that guy has completely lost the treasure, and by the way, I also knocked out half of his body. If we had been able to take another day or two to make our hunt plan, it would have been a very favorable situation. But the problem is"

"Shirou and the female knight have returned."

"So that's the worst-case scenario." Aozaki Aoko bowed slightly, agreeing with Gilgamesh's statement. The latter snorted softly and stopped talking, and the scene fell into a strange silence again.

To be honest, although yesterday's two ceremonies proposed an insurance plan that Saber would take over today, in the end, not only the two ceremonies who said this, but also Saber and Gilgamesh, who were the audience, almost decided that yesterday's action would be successful.

After all, Gilles de Les was nothing more than a low-level Heroic Spirit, at best a man who knew how to summon some disgusting creeps. Magic, great miracles, divine spells, etc., they don't know anything in these fields, and even the total amount of their own magic power is not necessarily particularly scary, if you use the talent of a magician, it is simply a wastewood.

However, such a person managed to escape in front of Aozaki Aoko, whose comprehensive strength was more than four times his own, what was the reason?

"Although he looks like a whole psychopath, maybe we can't take him too lightly about his IQ." This time, it was the two ceremonies that saw the question in Gilgamesh and Saber's minds and answered it: "Although it is not obvious on the surface, in fact, he has been on guard since I cut his surveillance technique on Warehouse Street. As a trump card to save his life, he planted an instantaneous teleportation spell on his body, and then at the end of the end, he sacrificed the book-shaped treasure in his hand to block my blow under the eyes of the Straight Death Demon, and used a magic cannon to activate the spell on his body. To make matters worse, even though half of his body was blown up, I don't think it would be such a serious injury in terms of the Heroic Spirit's ability to recover, and we wasted the precious time of the whole night in vain. ”

"Well, but thankfully, because of his injuries, that guy shouldn't have known that the real Joan of Arc himself had come to this Fuyuki City. That is to say"

"If nothing happens, he'll be sniping me tonight, right?" Taking over Aoko Aosaki's words, Saber sighed with a wry smile.

"But on the flip side, that's our last chance." Aoko Sogasaki set her eyes in the direction of Yanagidong Temple, where there was the teleportation technique and array of the Yellow Spring, "Shirou and Joan of Arc are not stupid, especially the former, if he has this meaning, then it is not difficult to obtain information even through the land itself." Moreover, Concubine Gongyue herself is not a person who is particularly good at hiding words, not to mention that Shirou is almost as important as his sister in his heart. They perceive that it is only a matter of time, and it is impossible to hide it. The only chance we'll have to cut Caster first is tonight. ”

"Hmph, no need to worry." Gilgamesh next to him snorted coldly, "As long as he has the courage to appear in this forest, this king dares to say that he will be executed immediately!"

When he had finished speaking, Gilgamesh was silent. It's just that the tightly furrowed brows also fully show the unhappiness in her heart.

Maybe it's because her best friend Enki has failed, and she, as a friend, begins to resent Gilles de Les for not cooperating, right? Speaking of this bastard who had stained her friend, Gilgamesh immediately put on a look of wanting to swallow Gilles de Les Les alive.

I thought it was just a bug that would make friends cry, but I didn't expect it to be a bug that disgraced my best friend by not cooperating! The next time we meet, if you don't cut this guy with a thousand knives, how can you be worthy of Enqidu, who is still secretly lost?

Such unreasonable ideas are almost all written directly on that pretty face.

Seeing this, Saber and Aoko Aozaki and the others had to look at each other relatively wordlessly. After having known Gilgamesh for many years, how could they not know when the other party could be reasonable and when he could not be reasonable?

If it has anything to do with Enkidu, it is absolutely unreasonable, even if Enkidu originally persuaded it!

"Formula." Seeing that it was impossible to convince Gilgamesh, Saber had no choice but to turn to the two rituals and say, "All in all, I'll be responsible for the ambush of Caster tonight, and Jill and I." Just in case, Aoko, you can also come over and help. As for the safety of the castle, it will be left to you and Hercules. I think it's safe to take care of the four people in the house if you two are here, but of course, Alice Field, don't go out tonight if you have something to do. When you get back, remember to lock the doors and windows, and stay in the sight of Hercules or Shi, okay?"
