On the eve of the arrival of the 'Mana Unleashing Battle Suit'.

“…”

"She seems to be... Lie-sama's classmate? ”

After careful observation, Chino found that one of the two girls who came in was a classmate of Lord Lie.

"Hmm." Lie nodded, looking at the girl who was looking around in the clearing.

As soon as I got closer, I noticed that she was...

"Aoyama. Yazi. Lie said her name, and at the same time his face was not very good.

Oops, it's awful... Lie knew that his biggest opponent was the Mistress of the Machine Spirit, but he did not expect that there would be subordinates of the Mistress of the Machine Spirit to participate in the Holy Grail War.

You know, even if they don't summon the Heroic Spirit, they are already a difficult existence to deal with... Wait, if they are in a state where they can't release their perch, it will undoubtedly be much easier.

"Lord Lie, are we going to continue to hide?"

Just when Lie fell into thought, a soft girl's voice woke up Lie, this is Fang Chuan. Miles. After connecting with each other, everyone began to join forces.

"It's weird." Fang Chuan-san bent down slightly and said, "We arrived an hour early, and we have carefully investigated whether there are any other masters and servants ambushed nearby..."

"However, until the public mission is about to begin, only one group has come... Have the other masters and servants given up? ”

Fangchuan-san's worries are normal, Chino and the others are also confused, and it is hard for Ryuya to believe that the other groups have given up. However, as Caster's nursery rhyme, it has been determined that there are no other groups of masters and servants around.

Even if the Assassin has the ability to block the breath, if he is in this area, he will not escape the perception of the nursery rhyme, because the space where the abandoned factory is located has been shrouded in the realm enchantment that the nursery rhyme has improvised to build.

The ability to build positions is really powerful, and given enough time, Caster's power is huge. For example, now, no matter how Yazi looks, he will not find Lie and his family hiding in the hidden area created by the nursery rhyme.

“… I always feel that there is something wrong with Yako and Kiyohime who appear here, but I can't say it..."Lie was a little puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

"Wait until the 'battle suit' appears." After considering the current situation, Lie said: "Now the power comparison between the fields, we have a great advantage..."

“…”

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the wind and clouds changed color, and the 'Magic Release Combat Suit' landed, but it appeared... Kiyohime in front of him~!

“…”

"Don't wait, do it~!"

"As the first cooperation, the first goal is to snatch the 'combat suit', and the second goal is to... Destroy enemy servants! ”

…

"Has the enemy appeared?" Kiyohime waved the weapon in her hand and wiped out the chocolate soldiers around her, and said happily, "As long as you wipe these out, you'll be fine, right?" ”

"No, I'm afraid not." Yazi looked at the surroundings extremely calmly, and was not in the slightest panic when she was suddenly attacked, and made accurate judgments.

"The enemy we're facing is supposed to be Caster, and fighting these summons is just a waste of time."

Putting away the battle suit, Ako came to Kiyohime's back and said softly, "Escort me away... As long as we evacuate safely with the 'Mana Unleashing Battle Suit', we will be victorious today." ”

Just as Ako and Kiyohime were talking, more chocolate soldiers appeared around... There are not only those with swords, but also those with spears and bows, which are somewhat similar to the skeleton soldiers summoned by Medea before.

"Hey~!" Kiyohime wielded her weapon with her weak-looking body to clear the way for Ako's departure, and her powerful combat power quickly broke through the encirclement of the chocolate soldiers.

In a short time, Ako and Kiyohime arrived at the gate, and as soon as they left there, they escaped from the temporary realm of nursery rhymes. Naturally, the nursery rhyme is well aware of this, so when they arrive here, the remaining chocolate soldiers are frantically pursuing regardless of consumption.

"Kiyohime is here to block ~." Kiyohime turned her back to Ako, intending to buy time for Ako to leave... With only Kiyohime, it would be easier to escape.

The situation was urgent, and Ako knew that only by leaving by herself at this time could Kiyohime get out of the battle early, so she pushed open the gate and ran outside.

"It's over~!"

When Ako ran out of the gate, she was already waiting here, and Artoria, who had been hiding her breath by using a magic spell from a nursery rhyme, stopped Ako in front of her.

Judging by the plan, it can be said that it is very simple, but it works.

Rye didn't think that he could outmaneuver the other party by summoning a chocolate soldier just by relying on the treasure of the nursery rhyme, so Artoria, who was allied with Chino, waited outside the door.

The long sword pointed forward, Artoria's face was very cold at this time, and she said to Yazi: "Give up, hand over the 'battle suit', and leave here." ”

Obviously, Kiyohime, who was fighting the chocolate soldiers on the other side of the gate, would not be able to return in time, and as long as my king's sword was sent a short distance further, Ako would be in danger.

"Are you the enemy servant?" Faced with the scene of the crisis, Yazi asked as calmly as before.

"With a sword... Are you Saber? "Ako is a little distressed, because Rie said that the sword rank is restrained by the spear rank, although it is only a slight restraint, which means that it is very disadvantageous for Lancer and Saber to fight, right?

The corners of our king's mouth rose and he did not respond, as an adversary, he was not obliged to correct the enemy's misconceptions.

Kiyohime will soon be able to get rid of the entanglement and run over, and Artoria knows that she has little time, so she takes the initiative to approach Ako.

Because she couldn't feel the magic on Ako, Artoria didn't find it difficult to snatch the 'battle suit' from Ako.

At the moment when Artoria rushed forward with her sword, a bad picture flashed through her mind.

(Flashing through my mind)

The swift sword swept through Artoria's heart with unimaginable power.

“…”

"Oops~!"

Artoria's powerful 'intuition' saved her again, and the king immediately switched from charging to dodging when she realized the danger.

At the same time, Yazi, who looked very weak just now, had an extra long sword in his hand, and his body exuded an amazing momentum, stabbing towards the trajectory of Artoria's original charge~!

Obviously, this blow has been planned for a long time, and it is extremely powerful and difficult to change direction.

There was a long crack in the ground, caused by a straight stab that landed in the air... It seems that Ako has a very strong swordsmanship.

"Huh? Dodged..."Yazi showed an interesting expression, and her acting skills should be perfect~!

…

Lie and his entourage, who was still hiding in the hiding place and watching all this.

"That's... Melee perch? While Lie breathed a sigh of relief, he was very afraid.

"I'm careless..."Wiping the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head, Lie thought to himself: "I saw that Yazi didn't fight with Kiyohime just now, and the appearance he showed was a little weak, and I thought I couldn't release the perch... Thankfully, it's Artoria, who has a super instinct. ”

"Why hide, though?" After understanding that Yazi was hiding his strength just now, Lie had even more doubts in his heart.

As a squire with massive lethality, Azi is quite adept at dealing with group enemies, and only needs a single round of strafing to eliminate those chocolate soldiers who stand in their way.

It's just that Yazi, who showed his strength at this time, only used the melee perch long sword in the battle with Artoria, and those artillery perched swords were not taken out.

Noticing this, Lie had some vague speculations in his heart... Perhaps, there are limits to the power that they can unleash, such as being able to use melee perch or something.

Even so, Ako, who has inhuman strength, is already very powerful, and she will not fall behind in the battle with Artoria.

…

"Excellent swordsmanship~" Taking a few steps back, Artoria obviously didn't expect the enemy's master to have such a strong combat power... Could it be the role of combat uniforms?

My king, who didn't know the situation, could only guess like this, and waved his long sword again in his hand, and fell into a stalemate with Yazi.

“…”

"Speed, power, reflexes... Either one is very powerful, is this the power that the Heroic Spirit has? "When Ako fights with my king, she not only remembers the scene of melee training.

As an elite acolyte in the Moon Legion, coupled with a long period of training improvement after the decisive battle, Yazi has reached the peak of the acolyte very early.

It's just that I haven't fought in a long time... I like everyday life very much, but it's also great to fight once in a while~!

It's a pity that it's not on the home sea, and you can only use melee perch, so you can't play it to your full strength.

But this is already very good, with this long-lost mood, Yazi became serious, mobilizing every strength in his body.

“…”

"Huh? Saber？ Kiyohime finally freed herself from the entanglement of the chocolate soldiers, only to find that Ako was fighting a servant.

…

"Two against one, the tide has turned." Yoshikawa-san looked at Artoria worriedly, because of the unexpected change, the expected advantage no longer existed.

"Moreover, is Yazi-san so powerful?" Fangchuan. Chisato looked at Lie and Chino very suspiciously.

"This... Maybe it's kicker magic, right? Lie hurriedly gave an 'explanation': "I remember that Yazi has been trained in swordsmanship since he was a child, and if he is strengthened by amplification magic, it is normal to be able to have such combat power." ”

"It's theoretically possible." The nursery rhyme also said, "If you use amplification magic, you can provide different amplitudes of reinforcement according to the caster's ability." ”

After saying this, the nursery rhyme said in her heart: "However, the stronger the amplification magic, the same powerful physical body, and the average human being collapses before the amplification reaches this level." ”

"That seems to be it!" Lie came to a conclusion, and then quickly changed the subject and said, "The situation is not good, we... Start Plan B~! ”

Out of the scope of the abandoned factory, and also out of the barrier temporarily built by the nursery rhyme, as a Caster's combat power has decreased a lot.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, Lie and his entourage have formulated several plans to prevent problems before they occur.

"Hmm." Hearing what Lie-sama said, Yoshikawa hurriedly gave Artoria an order to carry out 'Plan B' through telepathy with the servant.

…

"Plan B?" After receiving the Master's order, Artoria shook her sword and retreated.

"The enemy followers have retreated, are they in pursuit?" Kiyohime looked at Artoria who was leaving, and asked.

"Want to go?" The corners of Yazi's mouth rose, and he said softly: "How can it be so easy, let's chase~!" ”

Halfway through the joyful beating, Yazi is in the midst of excitement, how can it end so quickly? Even though she realized that there might be a conspiracy, Ako confidently chased after her.

"The master of the enemy servant should still be nearby..."Before the pursuit, Kiyohime glanced at the abandoned factory, and muttered to herself as she ran in pursuit, "But it doesn't matter, the target now is the enemy servant who wields the sword." ”

“…”

Soon, Artoria is caught up with... Or deliberately being caught up, because the other party has fallen into the trap.

As Caster's nursery rhyme, fighting the Heroic Spirits with demon-resistant abilities isn't very advantageous, but with preparation, it's different...

“… Gurgling~..."(presumably a spell)

The nursery rhyme has come to the vicinity of the ambush site, making a prayer gesture, chanting a spell in a low and high-speed voice... As a good magician, ordinary magic nursery rhymes don't need to be chanted.

On the other hand, the magic that needs to be chanted must be the magic of great power~!

With the chanting of incantations, the area where Artoria and Ako were located was enveloped in a majestic magic, and several five-star arrays appeared above their heads.

Immediately after, the nursery rhyme opened its eyes, and after the last spell was spoken, the magic took shape~!

…

"Be careful~!" Originally, Kiyohime was still a little careless, because before leaving, the master told her that the main task was to snatch the 'battle suit', and as for destroying the enemy servants, it was just a matter of taking advantage of the situation.

However, when the nursery rhyme begins to chant the incantation, Kiyohime's expression is extremely serious... Even if you don't have Artoria's strong 'intuition', you can sense that the flow of magic in the air is abnormal.

Feeling the magic of the nursery rhyme, Artoria began to chant, and Artoria, who had retreated here, raised her sword... Once Plan B begins, Goal 1 'Snatching the Combat Suit' becomes secondary.

The primary goal is to destroy the enemy servants~!

In a special pose, Artoria intends to use a noble vehicle and attack her enemies with Caster's powerful magic.

“…”

When the magic of the nursery rhyme is completed, not only Kiyohime, but also Yako feels the pressure.

"In the battle, you can't lose your cool~" Ako held the sword in a defensive posture, bent down slightly and said to Kiyohime embarrassedly, "It seems that we are in trouble." ”

Wielding the weapon in his hand, a red light gradually appeared in Kiyohime's eyes... It's winter, but the temperature around is quietly rising, especially near Kiyohime.

Just as Nursery Rhyme and Kiyohime were in a defensive stance, Nursery Rhyme's attack fell, bombarding where they were.

There was a violent "boom~" sound, and the dust caused by the explosion obscured the vision, and it became more and more with the magic attacks that continued to emanate from the five-star mang.

When the smoke and dust cleared and the ground was damaged and many pits appeared, Kiyohime and Yazi looked at each other suspiciously... The magic was powerful, but it didn't hit them directly.
