Chapter 101: Phantoms of the Past

My name is Elijah,

I think it's a bit of a stretch......

Whew-whew-"

The flat ground in front of the main entrance to the ruins of Einsberen Castle has been replaced by numerous large and small potholes, and the excavators that were buried there and the Berserker who jumped out to fight head-on are completely gone.

Standing on the edge of those "craters" was Saber· Lily, and Alice Phil, who seems to be wondering something.

"Ahaha...... Sure enough, I'm not mature enough," the pure white girl knight said self-deprecatingly, "It's still too reluctant to defeat him and give him an end in the future." ”

The white light that represented the dissipation of the magic lit up in different parts of her armor one by one, and the decorations that had been embodied in Alice Phil's impression disappeared, and even the blonde hair of the shawl that had been coiled behind her head was scattered.

"Hmm...... Saber: Are you sure you beat him? I don't seem to be perceiving his soul? Alice Phil behind her used a black headband to tie Lily's hair back into a ponytail, but her tone was very ...... Doubt?

"I'm sure I've completely defeated Berserker," Artoria thought for a moment and nodded: "The words of the soul, which only felt for a moment, seemed to disappear with great contentment - what's the problem?" ”

"The problem is that they shouldn't just disappear, they should be absorbed by the Great Holy Grail that we created." Alice Fell said again and again, "Saber...... You know that, right? ”

Acutely aware that Alice Phil was worried about her emotions, Saber Phil Lily laughed, and she stood up and turned to her master.

"We know," she replied, "that the souls of the vanquished will be absorbed by the Great Holy Grail as raw materials for initiation, and ordinary initiation and vows will only require six souls, but seven if you want to reach the root." ”

"The Einzberen family has no interest in the roots." Alice Phil answered.

"If it was the original condition, this setting was indeed very sinister, and if you told the heroic spirit with a proud personality, it would probably immediately turn against the water." Feeling Alice Phil's unease, Saber Lily took her hand, "But now there are nine Servants due to an accident, huh?" ”

"Well, that's right, just defeat all the servants of the other factions......" Alice Fell calmed down a little, but still felt like she was worried about something.

41:22:47

Kenneth and Sora are enjoying afternoon tea in the courtyard of the Lakeside Pavilion.

Kenneth was still happy that his fiancée, who was usually like a queen, was close to him, but soon found out that it was just a façade - how to get close to him was Sora's business, but if he tried to do something about it, he would be immediately beaten.

For example, when your stupid student pushes the door into the parlor to ask something, he may see Sora wrapping her arms around his neck and saying something like "we'll get married right back in England." But after he covered his face and exited the door, he wanted to go to Sola by the waist and was knocked over by someone with a chair.

It's not like you thought you were overthrowing the chair because of too much movement -

After a few times, Webb was able to turn a blind eye to the two, and Kenneth didn't know if it was good news.

Eventually, Kenneth, the famous scholar of the Clock Tower, made an analysis of Sora's strange behavior - Sora wants to have a relationship with him as an ordinary person, but she herself is unwilling to put on an unfamiliar attitude, so Kenneth must elevate the relationship from "stranger" to "intimate lover" while receiving false feedback all the time.

Can't you be beaten up when you hug a strange woman's waist on the street for no reason?

At this time, Kenneth finally raised the "relationship" between the two to the point where they could have afternoon tea together, which is gratifying.

For this mansion by the lake, it was enough to keep Kenneth away from it because it had a private spiritual vein and a hidden barrier that had lasted for decades, but it didn't react at all to his landing on the top floor of the hotel, and then turned a blind eye to Kenneth and Sora's several lakeside walks, which gradually made him want to explore.

Although the Western-style Pavilion did not hinder Kenneth's exploration, they also refused his entry, and in the end the only garden and courtyard could be used, so today they brought Luna, who was incarnated as a maid, to have afternoon tea.

"Kenneth~Ah-" Sora threw a cake at him.

Although it is common sense that they should be fed back, Kenneth can only reply like this:

"Thank you Miss Sophia for your hospitality, the fruity aroma of this cake makes me feel like I am in an orchard at harvest time, and I see countless ripe fruits and Tosaka Tokitomi in front of my eyes!"

"What's far—" Despite all the time playing, Sora's reaction was fast enough that she immediately got up and rushed to Kenneth and Luna, who were in a fighting stance.

————

The old-fashioned split head, outdated red suit, and pretending to be elegant, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a beard, he would really be seven or eight points similar to Tosaka Shichen.

The beautiful lady beside him had dazzling blonde hair, two high ponytails, an old-fashioned European-style dress, white gloves on her hands, and a parasol.

"Stop—uh." Kenneth intimidated and threw an ice pick, only to find that it pierced through Tosaka and the other woman without hindrance, both of them taking on an unnatural transparency under the fluctuations of the magic.

"'Phantom of the Past,'" Sora's words and attitude returned to normal, "It seems that what happened next is impressive to the world. ”

The reason for the appearance of the "Phantom of the Past" is similar to that of the mirage, except that one is a spatial refraction and the other is a temporal refraction, but what is harsher than the mirage is that it only appears when the world base itself fluctuates.

"Tear it down for me! Archer! The woman's phantom raised her hand and pointed to the Western-style pavilion in front of her.

"Wait, Miss Edfeldt, I thought we were here to negotiate," the man in the red suit, who seemed to be Tosaka Tokitomi, grabbed the woman's hand: "There are only three of us left in the Holy Grail War, so it can be said that we are already in the bag, and there is no need to continue fighting." ”

"That's what you think, Mr. Tosaka," the blonde woman known as Edfeldt shook off his hand, "for us, the war is only now begining. ”

"[Hey~ Do you want to do it in the end, mortal. The purple light converged, and beside Edfeldt appeared a petite girl in a purple printed dress, a black hairpin, and a purple ponytail, but the words were very classical and lofty.

"Do it, don't pay attention to that man's words." Edfield replied quickly.

"[Oh, interesting]," Archer raised his harp-like short bow, "[I won this game, Steno~]. ”

An arrow of light so dazzling that both Kenneth and Sora had to look away appeared on the bowstring.

"[Not necessarily, Yuri Ellie~]" Another purple-haired girl who looked almost exactly like Archer was approaching from the side, and she also had a small dagger that shimmered in her hand.

"Assassin, unleash your Noble Phantasm—" The door opened, and a woman with a look almost identical to Edfeldt outside the door, but with short blonde hair to her ears, stood there.

The two sisters, who were undoubtedly sisters, looked at each other without tenderness and issued the same command: "Kill the Master of Assassin/Archer!" ”

"[Hehehehe, I really want to see their ending~ I can only entrust you to Yuri Ellie~]" "[I also want to see it, can you please Stenor and you disappear first? 】”

The two purple-haired heroic spirit maiden's treasures were attacked almost simultaneously, and the dazzling light made even the phantoms of the past unstable.

"[The sight of the goddess! [Smile of the goddess! 】”

All the apparitions vanished for a split second the moment they collided, but a voice preemptively came before that.

"[The Wall of Snowflakes of Undefeated Glory-]"

————

The phantoms of the past gradually reappeared, but the two goddesses had disappeared, Edfield and Tosaka outside the door fell to the ground scarred, but the short-haired Edfield at the gate was unharmed, because a heroic young man in silver armor stood in front of her, but the silver-white shield that enveloped the entire mansion in front of her was shaky, as if it was about to disappear in the next moment.

"Hahaha! Sister, you lost! Stunned, the short-haired woman suddenly shouted to the two people who fell here: "He chose to let Saber protect me!" ”

"My stupid sister......" Edfield, who was called her sister, shook her head and staggered to pick up the unconscious Tosaka Mitoto: "He chose to protect you in order to live and die with me." ”

"Huh? What the? Damn it! The short-haired Edfield lifted her skirt and was about to rush outward, but was blocked by the silver-white shield of the young hero: "Remove this shield, Saber!" ”

"That...... Sorry, Master just used two spells in a row and I can't leave. The boy replied with a wry smile.

"Ahh What a hassle! Sister Edfeldt saw that her sister was about to leave the sight of Tosaka, so she staggered back into the house, and then took out a [] that was supposed to have something in the place, but it could not be recorded by the phantom of the past, and it was in a blank state.

"This is the little chalice I snatched from Einzbelen, I should already be able to make a wish, quickly make a wish and let me out!" She slammed the object to the Heroic Spirit blocking the door.

"This-" As soon as the young spirit caught what was supposed to be the Holy Grail, the piece of [] spread rapidly around it, and finally the entire "Phantom of the Past" disappeared.

"I heard that Galahad obtained the Holy Grail and ascended to heaven with the Holy Grail...... Kenneth was still very clear about the details of Arthurian legend: "So the last war was so lost? ”

"Luna?" Sora nervously looked at the Moon Spirit Liquid in a maid outfit.

Whew-

The doors and windows of the mansion were all closed at the same time, and a wild wind of magic blew outward, eventually converging on Luna's body.

"I'm going to kill Saber. The silver-white Heroic Spirit, who instantly regained the outfit of the Giant Shield Long Knife, said, "[She just killed my father. 】”
