There were bursts of thunder in the night sky, and a large phoenix was blowing on the streets, and the temperature seemed to be lower.

…

Inside Chino's room.

"It's a pity, it seems to be over." Jiu appeared here, slightly disappointed, and said.

Lie and his entourage were still sitting around the kotatsu, most of the plates on the table were empty, and some noodles were still boiling in the hot pot. There wasn't much juice left, and it looked like the party was coming to an end.

The TV screen is still on, but the concert has long since ended, and now it seems to be an ordinary daily drama.

After a long time, everyone was a little tired, except for Lie, who was still waiting for the last noodles in the hot pot, they were all lazily lying there.

The kotatsu is a place full of temptation, even if Xiao Nan and the others were surprised by the sudden appearance of Jiu, they still didn't come out of the kotatsu for the first time.

"Can I sit down?" Walking to the kotatsu nearby, Jiu asked Chino very politely.

"Of course." Chino struggled to sit up, arranging her somewhat messy hair as she asked, "Got a new mission?" ”

As the overseer of the Holy Grail War and the latter, Jiu suddenly appeared in front of him, and Chino naturally thought if there was something wrong.

"No~" Jiu shook his head, and then naturally sat down on the other side of Lie, and stretched his legs in a little bit.

Even if this kotatsu is not small, there are three people doing Zero, Lie, and Jiu on one side at the same time, and it seems a little crowded. But it doesn't matter, Jiu is here for purpose, and after entering the kotatsu, he also became lazy, and then leaned against Lie's side.

"I just finished dealing with the affairs of the other groups of masters and servants, and now I want to come to the Admiral for a while~" Jiu paused for a moment, and then said: "Please don't care, this is just a reasonable use of working time." ”

“…”

"Well, having said that, work always comes unexpectedly." Jiu put on a helpless expression and continued: "I obviously want to take this opportunity to chat with everyone (Admiral) for a while, but now it seems that it is not possible. ”

Before the words fell, Jiu, who was already sitting in the kotatsu, disappeared without waiting for everyone to ask anything more.

“… What happened? Qiannai was very puzzled, and at the same time a little regretful, he was also full of curiosity about Jiu.

"Ahem, I guess I suddenly have something urgent to deal with..."Lie didn't want to talk more about Jiu, so he changed the subject.

"Originally, it was to celebrate Chino's completion of her personal mission, and the first Lingji re-advent of the nursery rhyme was successful, but the event that suddenly became a 'Pajama Girl Hot Pot Party' ended."

With a straight look, Lie said lightly: "Now, let's start the combat meeting~!" ”

…

Ten minutes later.

The hot pot and tableware that had been placed above the kotatsu have been swept away, the TV has been turned off, and the room has become quiet.

Taking out the paper and pen, Lie quickly said and wrote: "Let's sort out our thoughts first, a lot of things have happened..."

“…”

Glancing at his abdomen, it was completely healed, but Lie still remembered that moment.

Suddenly, the skeleton soldier took the 'weakened Treasure Phantasm' to break through his defenses and pierce his abdomen from behind... Although he was healed by the body's self-healing ability alone, Yeol fully felt the danger of death at that moment.

Yes, I am too careless and conceited, and it is child's play to participate in the Holy Grail War in such a state.

Therefore, Lie began to plan more seriously, dealing with some things that he had neglected before one by one.

For example, continue to explain to Chino about this Holy Grail War... From the point of view of this Holy Grail War, the protagonists are Chino and Nursery Rhyme, and Ryu is just the facilitator.

Originally, these things should have been done as a nursery rhyme of Qianno's servant, but she... It's still a child (laughing and crying...)

“…”

"The Holy Grail War was originally a ceremony in which seven magicians (masters) summoned servants of seven ranks to fight each other, and the final winner received a universal wishing machine."

"And now... The basic framework remains the same, but there are slight changes. ”

“… The one who summons the servant is not a magician, and it has added factors such as combat clothes and the return of the spirit base..."

Picking up the written paper, and after everyone had seen it, Lie continued: "... The Servant as we know it so far... It's a pity that only Chino's servant, that is, the Caster nursery rhyme of the magic rank, is certain. ”

"The other sword rank servant saber, spear rank slave lancer, bow rank slave Archer, mounted rank Rider, kill rank Servant Assassin, mad rank Servant Berserker, and their master information is currently completely unclear."

"However, because there is a common task to participate in, I will definitely encounter it later... Chino, what you and the nursery rhyme have to do is to defeat these six groups of masters and servants, you know? ”

"Yes, yes~!" Chino had been listening intently, noticing that Lord Lie was asking herself, and quickly responded.

"Good." Lie nodded and continued, "It's also a basic question... Chino、And nursery rhymes, what are your wishes? ”

“…”

The Holy Grail is a universal wishing machine, and theoretically any wish can be granted, so most of the masters and servants have clear wishes. However, it is a pity that this is not the case with the group of Chino and nursery rhymes.

"Although Chino has a lot of things to want... But either it can be easily obtained, or it is not obtained with the help of foreign objects..."Chino tilted her head, thinking very puzzled... What are your own desires?

Ah, here it is, Chino, who was born with a golden key, and an excellent sister, Chino. Luckily, I live at the finish line!

"There doesn't seem to be a nursery rhyme~" Little Lori tilted her head and fell into thought, and said suspiciously: "Actually, nursery rhyme doesn't know why she is not a legendary hero, but she can also be summoned in the Holy Grail War..."

Ah, look at this group that lacks a clear goal from the beginning, is this what is called the protagonist group? In a sense, it's common...

Lie no longer dwelled on this issue and moved on to the next stage.

"Saber of the sword rank restrains the Lancer of the spear rank, Lancer of the spear rank restrains the Archer of the bow rank, and Archer of the bow rank restrains Saber of the sword rank."

"This is generally called the upper three horses, and the Skill Rank Caster, Killing Rank Assassin, and Riding Rider who are generally called the lower three horses are also in a triangle to restrain each other."

"Finally, there is Berserker, a mad follower, who both restrained and was restrained by the remaining six horsemen... There is no such thing as rank restraint in a normal Holy Grail War, but this Holy Grail War... Something special. ”

Lie raised his head, looked at the chandelier and said softly, "Weak rank restraint? What a subtle word... Let's take it as having a certain impact. ”

"So," Rye lowered his head, looked at the girls around him, and tapped his pen on the table, "The point is that we need to try our best to avoid the Rider and at the same time look for the Assassin. ”

"Killers generally have abilities such as aura concealment and concealment. Therefore, it is easier to deal with Wizard Servants who are proficient in perceptual magic and have the ability to build positions. ”

"Above, we..."

Before he could say something, he suddenly stopped, and at the same time a bolt of lightning flashed across and lit up the night sky outside. Then the thunder came, and everyone noticed that they didn't know when it had started to rain.

After Lie's voice stopped, the room was quiet for a few seconds, and the discussion of the combat meeting quickly resumed.

"Lord Lie, what are you going to do?" Chino raised her little hand and asked.

"Let's keep it simple, follow the normal steps, and continue the Lingji return mission of the nursery rhyme in two days, and at the same time use the opportunity of the public mission to find other masters and servants..."

…

The outside of Chino's house.

A burly black shadow stood on the roof, his massive body not affecting his agility in the slightest, and his movements were agile without making a noise.

The raindrops falling in the night sky were blown by the wind and flew everywhere, hitting him in large patches. His mouth was hot because of the low temperature outside, but there was a cold feeling about his bronzed skin and long dark knife.

His eyes widened like that of a cow, and he looked down carefully, looking for the target of his trip.

At this time, Lie and his entourage had just finished talking about mutual restraint between the servants, and were ready to discuss the next move.

Maybe it was because it didn't go well, everyone's expressions were a little depressed, and Konishi stood up from the kotatsu, as if to prepare tea.

Xiao Nan then stood up, as if he was going to go to those futons and other things, and everyone might sleep in Chino's room tonight... It's like a camp.

Zero got up and followed Xiao Nan, it should be to go with her, after all, everyone stayed in Qiannai's room to sleep, and they needed a lot of bedding.

The nursery rhyme seems to be a little tired, and it is a super warm and super beautiful scene to fall asleep in Chino's arms. As for Lie, he continued to think, constantly drawing something on the paper.

The black figure on the roof walked gently forward, coming to the top of the kotatsu... The rain was still falling in the sky, and the space around me seemed to be a little different.

Jiu appeared on the street farther away, watching the scene with concern, and cast an enchantment at the same time.

The battle between the servants is very destructive, and Jiu and Lihui, as the overseers and the latter, want to ensure that they are not discovered, so every time before the battle starts, they will block that area.

"Admiral~" Jiu looked at it worriedly, even if he was separated from a distance, he could still sense the situation over there.

An umbrella appears above Jiu's head, and the machine spirit appears.

"I think this is unfair~" Jiu frowned and said to the machine spirit dissatisfied.

"Oh~" The machine spirit still looks like a normal machine spirit, but it is noncommittal about it and does not answer immediately.

"The man must be fine... At this point, as the male host, Jiu should be more convinced, right? ”

"Of course the Admiral is fine." Jiu said confidently, but after seeing the black figure on the roof of Qianno's house, his eyes were a little dim.

"According to legend, that's supposed to be... Hercules? Jiu said softly: "In this Holy Grail War, Berserker has been summoned as a berserker! ”

…

With a "click", a flash of lightning appeared outside the window again, followed by rumbling thunder.

At the moment when the thunder sounded, Xiao Nan, Xiao Xi, and Zero were all far away from the kotatsu and located in the corner of the room. Lie, Chino, and nursery rhymes are still in the kotatsu, unaware of the surroundings.

"Come on, Berserker~!" A silent order came from somewhere, and the burly figure with a long knife jumped down from the roof in an instant, aiming directly at the Lie, Chino and nursery rhymes in the kotatsu furnace~!

Among the seven ranks, the mad rank is quite a special rank, because when the servants of the mad rank are summoned, they are almost irrational.

In short, the Berserker Servant has mostly the instinct to fight, and it has been boosted even more because of the madness. At the same time, because reason is almost lost, it will be done when it is ordered, and it will be difficult to stop it once it is angry.

"Boom~!!"

The heavy long knife destroyed the kotatsu, and the burly body of more than two meters unleashed a huge momentum, and let out a hoarse roar as it attacked.

With short black hair and a hideous face, he smashed out of the pit with a single blow. As for kotatsu? The moment he was attacked, he was reduced to pieces.

"Roar~~!"

Berserker stretched out his arms and roared, a visible momentum emanating from him, and the room suddenly became a mess.

Because of the raid from the roof, the rain fell down the cracks into the room and hit him.

After the attack, the room was plunged into darkness, as if the power had gone out due to Berserker's attack.

“…”

"It's very destructive, and if you get hit head-on, it must be dangerous." Lie appeared from the darkness and looked at the scene in the room with a heavy heart.

"Whew~" Chino breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing that everyone was fine, not only relaxed a lot.

"Good work, nursery rhyme." Looking at the cute Lori standing on the side, Chino said in fear: "Fortunately, the nursery rhyme is arranged with an enchantment, which sensed the arrival of the enemy in advance and performed phantom magic." ”

That's right, when Berserker came to the rooftop, Lie and his party had quietly moved, and all that remained was the phantom. And while leaving, the phantom magic was still active, and Berserker couldn't see Lie and his party at this time.

"Look at the way he looks... He is a Berserker of the mad rank, and his real name is Hercules. Lie said with a serious expression: "It's a super troublesome heroic spirit with amazing destructive power. ”

"Can't beat it? Lord Lie. ”

"Judging from the destructive power just now, the other party's Berserker may have experienced at least one Lingji return, so it is very dangerous to fight head-on..."

Lie's tone was heavy, but as soon as his voice changed, he continued: "However, he is now in our territory~!" ”

It's not wise to fight Caster in your own enchantment, and the enemy is underestimating us~!

"Chino, this is a rare opportunity to fight at home."

Of course, Lie can command the nursery rhyme to attack the enemy Berserker, and with Lie's understanding of both sides, there must be a good result. However, the master of the nursery rhyme is not Lie, but Chino. Luck.

"Lord Lie?"

"I'm Chino's mentor, but there are some things that Chino still has to do." Lie comforted Chino with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, I will always give advice and explain from the side." ”

“…”

"Yes, Lord Lie." Chino's gaze became firm, and his gaze fell on the enemy servants in the room.

"Phantom magic has a limited amount of time to trap Berserker, and it's best to use the enchantment realm to your advantage, summoning helpers or chanting powerful magic."

"Roar~~!"

As he spoke, Berserker smashed the wall with a long knife and stepped outside.
