Night has once again fallen in the forests of Einzbelen.

The night was still dark and quiet, but the traces of the fierce battles scattered everywhere were still clearly visible.

Specially brought the maid from the country to clean up the castle, and also in the Emiya Kiritsugu and Rode. Elumeroi was heavily wounded in the battle. Even if you want to do the repairs, the maids who are in charge of the chores have already returned to China. Alice Fell sighed and walked through the hallway, trying not to pay attention to the ruinous scene.

Fortunately, there are still a few bedrooms that have not been poisoned, and Maiya Kuyu is resting in one of them. Although Alice Fell had already cast healing magic on her, Einzbelen's healing magic was originally a considerable burden on the wounded, as it evolved from alchemy, not to regenerate the wounded's flesh, but to transform it into new tissue through magic.

Now there is only such a means. If the other party is an artificial person, it would be fine, but now it is a treatment of humans, and according to modern medicine, it is equivalent to a major surgery like organ transplantation.

Exhausted, Maiya is in a state of stupor, and it will take a long time to recover if she wants to regain consciousness and move her body freely.

Kiritsugu left immediately after sending the wounded Maiya back, and has not yet returned. He didn't even tell Alice Fell where he was going - probably to chase Kenes who had fled. Aqipolud. The reason for the failure to snipe the enemy magician was Artoria, which Alice Phil had already noticed. But instead of getting angry or reproaching Artoria, Kiritsugu coldly threw her down and left. I don't know if it's because he doesn't want to hurt Artoria's pride, but in short, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and it's hard to make up for it.

Mordred never showed up for the battle just now, and Alice Phil didn't know why. But seeing Mordred Alice Phil, who was already asleep and was picked up by Artoria, she still sighed sincerely: "It's so good, the relationship has become closer." Immediately, he thought of Illya again, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. [If this Holy Grail War is lost, such a tragic fate will befall Illya.] No way! There must be no failure, for Illya's sake! 】

Alice Phil, who was very troubled in her heart, sighed deeply. Suddenly, a roar rang in her ears. Not only that, but the night-tearing roar also put a huge burden on her magic circuit, and the dizziness almost caused Alice Phil to fall under the porch.

The roar came from close thunder, and the ensuing blast of mana meant that the barrier in the forest outside the city had been attacked. Although the enchantment is not something that is so easy to destroy, the spell has been destroyed. "What's going on...... A head-on breakout?"

A pair of powerful arms held Alice Fair's shoulders, the arms of Artoria who had appeared beside her for the first time after noticing the mutation.

"Are you alright? Alice Fell. ”

Mordred, who had been asleep, woke up after the mutation and jumped out of Artoria's arms. Gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the comer, [dare to spoil my good deeds!] 】

"Well, just a surprise. I didn't expect such a mess of guests to visit. Alice Phil replied.

"I'll go out and greet you, you stay by my side." Alice Fell nodded. Staying with Artoria, who had gone to meet her, meant that she had to face the enemy herself. But the battlefield is the safest place for Alice Phil, because the strongest Servant is right next to her.

"Please wait a minute." Mordred interrupted, "I don't feel any hostility on the other side. Thinking that the intruder was some muscular monster who was planning to throw a drinking party, Mordred reminded.

"Let's go check it out first."

Alice Fell quickened her pace to follow Artoria, and Mordred caught up, aiming for the terrace outside the entrance. Since it was the other party attacking from the front, it should be able to meet him there.

"The thunder just now, and this unplanned tactic...... The other party should be Rider. ”

"I think so."

Alice Fell recalls the power of the Noble Phantasm "Kamui Wheel" that she had witnessed in Warehouse Street a few days ago. The Sacred Ox Chariot entwined with thunder and lightning - the kind of anti-military treasure that can easily destroy the magic array set up in the forest once it unleashes its full power. It would have been okay if the barrier had been intact, but due to the attack of the marshal and Director Ken a few days ago, the barrier has not recovered from the damage at that time.

"Hey, Knight King! I'm here to meet you, come out, huh?" Before anyone saw it, they heard it. The bold words came to the ears of the three of them.
