The melodious sound of the violin wafted through the room, matching the slightly sad mood of the listener.

“…”

Chino's home, at this time, about two hours have passed since the battle in the suburban villa... Plan C, failed.

"It's hard work, zero, it's very good." Lazily lying in the kotatsu, after Zero stopped playing, he lifted his spirit and said to Zero.

"It turns out that Zero is so good at the violin..."Fang Chuan. Chisato and Chino. Fortunately, I was very surprised, I didn't expect that in addition to Zero's extremely high cooking skills, the violin also played so well.

"Thanks for the compliment." After putting away the violin, he bowed slightly, and returned to the Master's side.

"I actually made such an obvious omission..."Lie sorted out his thoughts and said to the girls around him, "It's really, not cautious enough." ”

Recalling the scene in the suburban villa before, it can be described as a big ups and downs.

…

At first, Smooth attracted Mie and Kiyohime, and threatened them with Ako to separate.

Then, Mie, who comes in, is dragged to the table by Xiao Nan, and Artoria is flanked by Kiyohime with nursery rhymes. There is a pre-arranged barrier, and no matter how loud the noise occurs inside and outside the villa, they cannot be detected by each other.

Just as Kiyohime was about to leave, Mie once again solved the crisis with a spell... So far, it's still being calculated.

However, when Lie showed the villain's smile and used Yang Mou to force Mie to comply, there was an omission... Mie recognized Lie.

To be precise, it was Mie who tasted the dinner and tasted that it was made of zero, and then thought of Lie. Obviously, even if all this was not done by Lie, it has a lot to do with Lie.

Of course, Mie is afraid that Ako will be hurt, especially when the situation is unknown... But if it's Lie-sama, it's fine.

Belch... How to say it, although it's an enemy, it's a long time ago (no, I was chasing and cutting with Ako some time ago, right?). ）。

In short, knowing that the other party has Lord Lie, Mie completely let go of her worries about Yazi in her heart. After a full meal with his servant Kiyohime, the fight began~!

"Yazi, she's somewhere here, right?" At the time, Mie said, "So... Lancer, sortie~! ”

After enjoying a delicious meal and replenishing her magic with a fire, Kiyohime's desire to fight is very strong, and she goes everywhere under the orders of the master.

Mie was not idle, holding a long knife in her hand, and searched with Kiyohime.

Of course, it was impossible for Lie and his party to watch dryly, and Artoria rushed over directly, and the nursery rhyme summoned chocolate soldiers through the enchantment or directly attacked Kiyohime.

After a fierce battle, when Mie and Kiyohime broke through to the house where Yako was, most of the villa was destroyed.

When Mie and Kiyohime are outside the door, they can hear the sound of "Xiu Xiu~" coming out of the room, as if they are fighting.

Immediately afterward, I heard Azi's weak... Well, I should say I heard Yazi's intermittent and strange voice. (Please eat it with confidence, and face seriously.) ）

“…”

“… No, don't..."

“… I hate it, it can't be like this..."

“… Good, so strong..."

“… Oops, no, no..."

(Lost in silence for a few seconds)

“… Yes, I have to continue~! ”

“…”

"Master?" Kiyohime's face was red, and she looked at Mie with a whimsical gaze.

"Ahem," Mie's hand stiffened to open the door, and she took it back and said, "We... Come back at another time? ”

“…”

With a bang, the door opened, and Kiyohime and Mie looked inside.

I saw Konishi in a maid's skirt standing at the door, the door she opened, with a sweet smile on her face.

"I'm going to get some juice, what flavor does Miss Ako want to drink?"

"Apple juice, thank you." Ako stayed in front of the game console, looking at the 'defeated' picture on the screen... Well, it seems like a King of Fighters game.

"Ah~, can you play a game with Yazi after bringing the juice? In the next game, Yazi has to use the strongest character... Hey? Mie and Kiyohime, good evening when you're here. ”

“…”

Good evening~! If it weren't for Meihui's good upbringing, he would definitely scold him loudly.

There are so many dangers in order to rescue Yazi, but Yazi is in... Hawkers, considering that it was Lord Lie who caught Yazi, it is not surprising that such a situation is not surprising. (No, isn't that weird?) ）

"Looks like it's time." Ako put down the gamepad and stood up and stretched her waist and arms, making a slight 'crackling' sound.

"This maid lady, if you have a chance in the future, you must fight again." While saying these words, Yazi walked at the door.

Kiyohime comes to Ako and uses her own power to help Ako unlock the restriction magic that has been cast in her body.

"Thanks for the hospitality... So, let's start fighting~! ”

“…”

Meihui and his party began to evacuate, and Lie and his party naturally would not let them leave easily, so they started another fierce battle until the entire villa was destroyed.

In the end, Mie and Kiyohime leave with Ako, paying some price for it.

…

"It's good to be able to get the enemy master to use all the spells." Chino used this reason to appease everyone... That's the biggest takeaway.

Lie nodded, and although he finally let Mie and the others escape, he also succeeded in consuming Mie's last spell. In other words, the next time you have the opportunity, you won't fall short because of the spell.

"It's so late, let's all rest early... Tomorrow afternoon, there are still very important things. ”

Shaking his head, he threw the previous things out of his mind, and now he needed to think about the second return of the spirit base. According to the time told by Jiu, tomorrow will be the mission of the second spiritual return of the nursery rhyme.

It's the same with Artoria, tomorrow at a similar time, Yoshikawa-san will go to another place to accept Lingji's personal mission.

"Good night~."

"Good night~."

“…”

After saying goodnight to each other, they each lay down in the quilt and went to sleep, while Lie came to the doorway corridor in his pajamas.

Sitting on the wooden stairs in slippers, Lie looked up at the night sky, the stars were shining, as quiet and beautiful as ever. Closing his eyes, he felt the cool breeze blowing from time to time, and his whole body relaxed a lot.

"Can't sleep? Lord Lie. The figure of the nursery rhyme appeared next to Lie, and the little Lori was wearing a fluffy skirt at this time, which was very cute.

"There's something on my mind... But even if you don't have these things, you probably won't be able to sleep at this time. Lie opened his eyes, and the pupils of his eyes showed the emotion of memory.

"A lot has happened during this time."

Nursery rhyme chuckled and sat beside Lie, not knowing whether to respond to Lie's words or talk to himself.

"During this time, nursery rhymes have also experienced a lot~."

"Oh?" Lie looked down at the nursery rhyme and asked curiously, "Since being summoned, what have left you behind in these experiences of the nursery rhyme?" ”

"Impressed?" The voice of the nursery rhyme is very immature, and it sounds very pleasant.

"There are a lot~, one, two..."Stretching out his little hand, the nursery rhymes counted one by one, and then looked at Lie in frustration... Things are so much better, ten fingers are not enough.

“…”

"This, how cute this is~!"

The eyes of the nursery rhyme were very pure, the little face was full of joy, and he said excitedly to Lie: "... The dim sum made by Sister Zero is delicious, Sister Xiaonan taught nursery rhymes how to play the piano, Sister Xiaoxi..."

“… The master gave the nursery rhyme a lot of beautiful and luxurious clothes, and the nursery rhyme felt so happy and said happily~! ”

The smile and joy on his face are not the slightest hint of falsification, and he can feel the excitement and happiness in the heart of the nursery rhyme, but... Doesn't that fit in with the brutal Holy Grail War?

Covering his forehead in pain, Lie felt depressed again, and the voice of the nursery rhyme gradually weakened until he could no longer hear it.

“…”

"Lord Lie, are you alright?" The nursery rhyme squatted down worriedly, her eyes blinking, full of worry.

"No, it's okay... I'm probably a little tired, but I'll be fine after a while... The nursery rhyme is a heroic spirit, and it doesn't take long, but you also have to have a good rest~. ”

After a few more words with nursery rhymes, Lie returned to the house... Everyone seems to have fallen asleep, and if you listen to it, you can see that the girls are breathing evenly.

"Are you going out? Artoria. ”

Upon entering, Ryo found that Artoria's bed was empty, as if she had just gotten up.

"Yes." After Artoria withdrew from the spirit state, she said softly, "Please don't worry, if anything happens here, she will be back immediately." ”

Artoria will of course be back right away, because of her lord Yoshikawa. Chisato is asleep here... Speaking of which, when Lie met them, it was also in the middle of the night, right?

It seems that Artoria has something that needs to be done at night.

"Good night~." After a few words to Lie, Artoria disappeared again, judging by her breath, she was probably gone.

Vaguely, Lie seemed to see a dialog box in his mind.

"Is it up to Artoria? ——Yes/No”

"..."Haha, it must be a hallucination caused by exertion...—_—!

Glancing around again, Lie lay under his bed, and it seemed that it was time to rest.

"Good night, have a good dream."

…

Following.

"Is it dawn?" Fangchuan. Chisato rubbed her eyes, wanting to sleep a little longer.

Struggling a little, Fangchuan. Chisato opened her eyes and tried to get up from the covers.

“…”

The four eyes looked at each other, and some flushing gradually appeared on the cheeks.

"Sen, Chino-san... Good morning. ”

Fangchuan first broke the embarrassing atmosphere of the mystery... In other words, I should ask why I woke up and found Chino lying in front of me looking at myself, right?

Chino was stunned for a moment, as if she had finally come back to her senses, and stepped back a little.

"Morning, good morning... That, when I woke up, I found Yoshikawa-san, who was sleeping next to me... The smile was very sweet, so I unconsciously looked at it for a while. ”

"It's... That's right. "Fangchuan. Chisaku's heart is beating faster, holding her face... Do you smile sweetly when you fall asleep?

No, your smile is always sweet, right? Because this way you can fit in with everyone... Isn't that a strange thing.

I glanced around, and found that I was the only one left lying in the bed.

"You're awake, good morning, Master." Artoria appeared on Yoshikawa's side, sitting on the mat with a serious expression and her eyes closed.

"Well, good morning." Fangchuan. Chisato quickly came out of the quilt and picked up the clothes that had been put aside to put them on.

“…”

"Goo~"

After finishing up, Fang Chuan smelled the aroma of rice, and his stomach screamed at the right time.

"For breakfast, Lord Lie and Zero are ready." Artoria nodded with satisfaction and said with certainty: "It's very delicious~!"

Of course, my king was very satisfied, and it could be seen from the pile of freshly used dishes in the kitchen, but fortunately, Lie had expected it and prepared a sufficient breakfast.

“…”

"I'm moving."

“…”

After breakfast, everyone gathered again, and after a night's rest, they were all full of energy.

"Looks like we're going to split up today... Chino and Yoshikawa-sang's personal spiritual base re-advent mission are all in different places. ”

"Hmm~, it's just speculation at the moment... Everyone received the Lingji return mission at the same time period, if the last mission did not fail. ”

Lingji returns... Enhance the Servant's strength, and the next battle will be on the next level.

"As an ally, I hope it will pass smoothly." Lie vs. Fangchuan. Chisato and Artoria said, "I wish you all the best. ”

"Thank you... When you're done, use your mobile phone to get in touch. ”

Fangchuan. Chisato responded politely to Lie, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he left with Artoria first. Before embarking on the Personal Spirit Base Returning Mission, there are still some preparations.

Seeing them leave, and after the figure disappeared, Lie looked at Chino and the nursery rhyme with a solemn expression.

“… If there is no accident, this Lingji return mission is likely to be Medea. "Lie felt helpless... Although she did not leave much of her feats in the legends, Medea was very powerful as a magician of the gods.

"Lord Lie." Chino seemed to have struggled in her heart for a long time, raised her little hand and plucked up the courage to say to Lie: "In this battle, Chino wants to go with the nursery rhyme. ”

“？？” Lie didn't react for a while, so he was supposed to go together.

Immediately after, Lie thought of something, and asked uncertainly, "Qiannai... Do you want to take the initiative to intervene in the battle? ”

Because of the combat effectiveness, although Chino was on the scene every time he fought, he did not directly face the enemy. And the meaning of Chino just now is to come out of hiding and attack the enemy with the nursery rhyme.

"What to say... It's the influence of Blue Mountain and Aoyama. "Wrapping her fingers around the ends of her hair, Chino knows that doing so is inconsistent with the guidance of Lord Lie, 'the Lord refrains from fighting in person', but...

"Why?" Even though this was a dangerous thing, Lie didn't object right away, asking Chino why.

"Second Miss..."Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi glanced at each other, it was not easy to fight the Heroic Spirit.

Adjust your breathing, Chino. Xing looked at Lie's eyes and said softly: "There is really no way to let Tong Yao face a strong enemy alone." ”
