Chapter 15: The Tainted Grail

Let's start with the conclusion.

This servant, Ermelo II, was a true participant in the Holy Grail War.

Although he did not win the final victory, he really lived to the end. In a sense, this is also a victory, better than those magicians who are shrouded in horse leather.

The peculiarity of this time, very coincidentally, is the Holy Grail War in which he once participated.

As for why he's so sure?

Because, of course...... I saw my former self!

What could be more powerful than this?

However, there are also problems.

For example, according to his memory, the first battle was supposed to be in the harbor, where Lancer Dilumudo, wielding two guns, faced Saber Artoria.

After that, there will be a big scuffle between Archer Gilgamesh and Rider Iskandar and the unknown Berserker.

This was the first battle in his memory.

That's why he waited in the uninhabited port area from the beginning.

But......

No matter how clever he was, he couldn't have expected that Kenneth didn't summon Dilumudo this time......

Kenneth Ermelo Achipoud is an elite lecturer of the Clock Tower, a genius magician, who is fully prepared to win the Holy Grail War, but on the eve of the war, someone from the Clock Tower stole the relic, Iskandar's cloak, and had to improvise a new relic.

It seems that in this peculiarity, Kenneth [did not prepare a new holy relic] but [firmly believed that he was invincible as a magician, so it didn't matter from the side of the practitioner. 】

If you don't prepare a holy relic, then when summoning a servant, you will give priority to selecting the servant who is most compatible with the master from the [phase].

Probably, I feel that I am so strong, and there will be a servant with a suitable personality who will be stronger.

As a result, Yagi Yukisai, who returned to this peculiar point with the barrier of Iskander, was summoned by mistake as a servant.

There should be no victor in this Holy Grail War.

In fact, the Holy Grail did not appear on the occasion of his participation.

As early as sixty years ago, during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberen family illegally summoned [all the evils of this world], which caused the Holy Grail to be contaminated......

The current Holy Grail is just the embodiment of calamity.

If you are in this life, no matter what wishes you make to him, it will eventually turn into a cruel tragedy.

Hearing this, Alice Phil rarely showed a very firm look of refusal:

"I can't believe you."

That's right, as an artificial person of the Einzberen family, of course she will not casually believe this kind of speech that is unfavorable to her family.

"Ah, that's right. That's okay too. When the time comes, you will understand when you see the Holy Grail with your own eyes. Until then, we need to eliminate the servants who cannot communicate and leave the three horsemen behind. Since the following is also counted, it is probably enough to need: lancer, caster, and saber. If possible, I want to try not to have a conflict with the rider as much as possible. That's good for you too, right? Even if I'm talking nonsense, it's okay to form an alliance with us to deal with other opponents first, and then fight us in a duel, right? ”

Ermelo II never thought they would believe it. If you really believe it, you should start thinking about whether to ally with them. After all, fools are likely to be holding back.

"Hmm...... The question of the Holy Grail will not be mentioned, but it is true that the alliance will be more advantageous. ”

"Yes, Alice Phil, I agree with you. Lancer should be trustworthy. ”

Saber unexpectedly began to speak for him, much to Yagi's flattery, after all, she had attacked her master at the beginning, and thought she would have a low opinion of herself.

In fact, Saber's criteria are also very simple: no matter what the reason, if he can use the Star Sword of the same origin as himself, no matter what, he should be a [savior] by nature, and he will not be a wicked person.

Although there is always a ...... in him A very unpleasant, evil temperament. But in essence, we can still see the brilliance of humanity that a savior should have.

His temperament is very similar to that of Fujimaru Rika over there.

"Right. However, don't you need to ask what the "true master" means? ”

Suddenly, Ermelo II came up with such a sentence out of nowhere. A big question mark popped up on Alice Fair's head: "Huh? I'm the Master, right? ”

"Well, as I said before, I know a lot about this Holy Grail War, including things like the Einzberen family hiring a magician killer from the outside. He's Saber's master, right? ”

"Uh...... I, I don't know what you know. ”

Alice Phil took off her gloves a little troubled, revealing a pair of hands that were almost as white as white gloves, and on the back of her right hand, three red lines were clearly depicted.

There is no doubt that you can feel the intense magic just by looking at it.

It's the Spell.

"What?!"

Ermelo II's eyes widened......

"Hey, from the very beginning, you said what you said to predict what memory, isn't it impossible to know any of them?!"

From the beginning, he looked impatient, leaning on the trunk of the tree with one hand, and Hei Joan of Arc, who was standing diagonally on his shoulder, hurt him.

"Is that so...... It turns out that in the Holy Grail War, the Einzberen family has not yet researched the androids who can freely participate in the Holy Grail War, so they need to hire servants from the outside...... I see, this time the peculiarity ...... Is this the basis for this? ”

Ermelo II was a little confused, pushing his glasses with one hand, thinking in a troubled way.

Black Joan of Arc was stunned and turned his head to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"I don't understand this, so what the hell are you summoning me for? I'll start with it, my hatred will only burn everything, don't say such disgusting things if you want me to save the world or something! ”

Fujimaru Rika nodded and said with a smile: "Then please Miss Joan of Arc!" Be sure to help me defeat the enemy. ”

“……”

Black Joan of Arc looks at her face...... The events of France's peculiarities are blurry to her now, and there is almost no memory left. But......

Is she of this character?

Make the best use of things, in order to save the world, no matter what kind of person you are, you can use it?

Regardless of whether a black cat or a white cat can catch mice, is it a good cat?

But none of that matters now.

Importantly......

Forge an alliance with Saber, so it's the best.

With Saber's character, she probably can't do the act of unilaterally tearing up the contract and then stabbing her in the back.

This is considered a temporary security.

(While keeping the Three Riders, reduce the Disruptors, guide the Great Holy Grail to descend, and then destroy it.) Well. So be it. The biggest variable...... Sure enough, it was still berserker and archer...... Where are these two riders most likely to be...... )

Ermelo II's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had a guess.
