The warm afternoon sun softly warmed the exterior walls of the warehouse, gradually sloping towards the west, and the air in the warehouse was still silent and cold. A few rays of sunlight poured in through the small skylight, and the warehouse seemed to be bathed in a faint twilight like dusk.

Artoria sat against the wall, waiting for that moment to come.

In the magic circle beside her was Alice Phil, who was still lying on her back. She was still asleep. Ever since she had been brought here in the morning, Artoria had been staring motionlessly at her sleeping face.

Mordred was a little "jealous" because her father's attention was all on Alice Phil. I was fighting outside to the death, and before I could get a good rest, I was forced to stuff dog food by my father and Alice Phil.

[Father is mine!!] Mordred said with a heart infarction, and after an embarrassed smile, he silently shed tears in his heart [(?????) This must be a fake dad. 】

Alice Phil hadn't woken up yet, and it seemed that resting in this magic circle was the only way for her to recuperate. In the past, ceremonies were held at the same time, but as things stand now, it seems to be a very distant thing to come.

It was a long night......

Marshal Caster, who had entered the battle halfway and hindered the battle, came to an end in the future.

After that, Mordred's matchup with Lancer Dilumudo ended in harrowing fashion. However, Mordred insisted on saving Lucky E's master, Director Ken, which was also a good ending.

Although Artoria and Lucky E still have an agreement for a decisive battle, they can only regret it. (Lucky E is named a spearman, don't have any extravagant hopes, thank God if you don't get killed by your own master, and fantasize about a perfect ending like a decisive battle.) ）

Last night's Holy Grail War had made a lot of progress, and the spearmen Dilumudo and the marshal withdrew from the battle one after another. Mordred have shown an excellent record in all of these fights.

"Yo, Mordred! When did you come back? That's when Artoria noticed Mordred's presence.

Mordred was a little helpless: "Did you just find me now?" Father, you are really affectionate to Ellie....."

Artoria received the deep resentment from Mordred, and was a little confused, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

But he still cared: "It's hard work, I've been tired of you lately, and you have a great record!" ”

Father's care and praise were extremely effective, and Mordred was poked at the G-spot, "Hey, hey, there's no need for praise, I'm far from you, Father." ”

"Father, you've been taking care of Ellie."

"I don't feel tired."

Artoria is lying when she says not to be tired. But now she's more worried about Alice Phil's situation.

Remember the signs from the morning. Alice Fell called that a functional defect in artificial humans. But Artoria couldn't figure out what had happened yesterday that had caused her health to deteriorate suddenly. Not because of the injury, not because she was exercising too hard.

"Ellie's situation is terrible." Artoria was worried.

"Indeed." Mordred knew that as the Guardian of the Apparatus to manage and carry the Vessels for the Coming of the Grail, that was Alice Phil's mission. After absorbing the souls of the three servants, Alice Fell became more and more unbearable.

Soft sunlight shines through the skylight, and as it passes noon, the sunlight gradually changes angle.

Finally, Alice Phil moved slightly, and the still air rippled.

Artoria and Mordred's eyes widened immediately, and Alice Fell slowly sat up as she groaned uncomfortably.

“Saber？ Little Mo? Lazily brushing aside the silver hair in front of her, she stared blankly at the two servants guarding her. [It's a good feeling to be cared for!] 】

"Ellie, how is your body?" Mordred and Artoria asked in unison.

"Uh, uh-huh. It should be fine. The blood on Alice Field's face had returned to her usual state of health. It's hard to imagine that she was still asleep.

"Ah~~\(≧▽≦)/~" She stretched slightly, as if she had woken up happily in the morning after a good rest. "Well, it looks like I've worried you."

"No, no. If it's really okay, that's great. Artoria hurriedly denied.

"I know what you're going to say." Smiling wryly and combing her long hair with her hands, Alice Fell tidied up her somewhat messy clothes. "It seems that I've had a lot of problems since I got here. It should be fine if you stay quietly like this, but Saber, Xiao Mo, I may not be able to support you after that. ”

Mordred had stopped worrying about that since she had obtained the Spell. Alice Fair's fate was sealed, and there was nothing Mordred could do to stop it. But these spells will support Mordred to continue to fight the Holy Grail War after Alice Phil becomes a container.

"We cyborgs are different from humans and are very aware of our body structure. Just like a car, if a car runs out of fuel and doesn't turn on the warning light, then it's really a failure. ”

"Really, Mordred?" Artoria didn't quite believe Alice Phil's words.

"Although we are all androids, we are different!" Mordred said, "I was born to my mother through the medium of my father, and I am not the same as Ellie. ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, Artoria had no choice but to say comfortingly: "Ellie, you don't know, I was blessed by the treasure during my lifetime, not to mention the plague, even the aging has stopped, so I will not have any discomfort on my body." Even in another ten years, I'll still be the same as I am now. ”

"I only have 20 years to live," Mordred thought to herself. [I have to find a way to renew my life.] 】

Inexplicable silence.

Although she didn't know why this small talk was causing her to be depressed, Artoria realized that Alice Fell was not in the mood to talk and laugh with her at all.

"Hey, Saber, will you be able to take Kiritsugu as a companion and fight alongside him? Mordred, you too. I'll hand over your spell to Kiritsugu in the future, can you get along? Alice Fell asked.

At the mention of Emiya Kiritsugu, there was silence again.
