Leave behind the Heroic Spirits who are fighting fiercely and return to the castle on the other side of the forest.

Emiya Kiritsugu has been silently preparing his weapons at the beginning of Lancer's invasion, and Emiya Kiritsugu has put all kinds of grenades and small machine guns in the suspenders under his coat, which is unbelievable, this is the preparation of the magician who is about to go to the battlefield, exactly like a veteran who has been under fire for a long time.

However, Alice Phil saw that in the holster around Emiya Kiritsugu's waist, there was a single-shot magic gun that Emiya Kiritsugu was only equipped with at critical moments. She understood that her husband was ready to fight.

"Alice, do you detect signs of the Master's entry into the forest now?"

Kiritsugu, who was ready to arm, raised his head and asked Alice Phil.

Which is the easier enemy to defeat, the master under the protection of the Heroic Spirit, or the magician who stands alone to hold the ground? If it was Emiya Kiritsugu, he would definitely choose the latter. If another magician had chosen the same answer as Emiya Kiritsugu, that magician would have sniped Alice Phil who was still in the castle as soon as he knew that Saber was fighting alone.

Especially when Lancer went to the meeting alone, then there was no need to think that the arrogant and somewhat powerful master of the spearmen must be lurking around, and maybe even someone else really wanted to take advantage of the fisherman's profit and attack Saber's master when Saber left the castle. If you want to kill the Master, the best time is when the Master and the Heroic Spirit act alone.

Maiya takes Alice and escapes from the castle. Flee in the opposite direction to Saber."

Emiya Kiritsugu thought about it for a moment and gave an order to Kuyu Maiya, and when he heard Kiritsugu's order, Kuyu Maiya nodded without hesitation. Got your gear ready to go.

"Stay here...... Isn't it possible? ”

Alice Phil couldn't hide her inner wavering. Finally, I can meet Emiya Kiritsugu again, but we have to separate again. This made Alice Phil very uneasy. In particular, she became more and more uneasy when she realized the pain and contradictions hidden in her heart by Emiya Kiritsugu. But staying by the side of Emiya Kiritsugu can only become a burden. Originally, the rendezvous with Emiya Kiritsugu in the castle was an exception.

"Saber is fighting far from here, and this is a sign that the castle is no longer safe. Because there may be people who share the same thoughts as me, and Lancer's master is still hiding and peeking around the corner, this place is dangerous. ”

"I see."

Listening to Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Alice Fell thought calmly in her heart, and finally could only respond. And at the moment when Alice Phil nodded quietly, a new sting appeared in Alice Phil's magic circuit. This is the message that the Forest Barrier feeds back.

"What's wrong? Alice. ”

Alice Phil's painful expression was instantly noticed by Emiya Kiritsugu, and asked eagerly.

"Kiritsugu, as you feared. It seems that an enemy has entered the forest. ”

Alice Phil reminded Kiritsugu Emiya and left the castle with Maiya Kuyu. For the first time since Alice Fell set foot on the land of Fuyuki, she felt uneasy. Once again, she realized the importance of Saber who was always by her side. The quiet confidence and tolerance that emanates from that petite body gives Alice Phil great peace of mind.

Maiya Kuyu, who is now following her instead of Saber, is not untrustworthy as a guard, and from where Kiritsugu Emiya learned that he has a high opinion of Maiya's abilities, Alice Phil is not to doubt her. But there is always a wonderful sense of uneasiness in my heart.

Leaving the castle in order to retreat, there is no dialogue between the two walking in the Forest of Enchantments. It's true that Maiya Kuyu doesn't seem to be the type to like small talk, but that utter silence is too heavy for Alice Phil.

The evasion of the two continued, while on the other side, Kenneth's heart, as an intruder, was being corroded little by little by the anger of sulfuric acid.

He is a first-rate magician. Originally, I would never lose my cool because of feelings. This is especially true in the case of a real-life test.

Actually, if this is a secret duel between fellow magicians. Kenneth must have nothing to do with anger or something. You should sigh and admire your opponent's skill, calmly deduce its true value, and concentrate on performing a magic trick that is a reward for your enemy's secret arts. Such a noble and boastful gentleman's game is the battle that Kenneth knew. He gambled on the right to use the Holy Grail and competed with Tosaka Tokitomi, Makiri, and four excellent opponents who had not yet met. Came to this remote place in the far east.

But at this moment, Kenneth is facing a magician killer known as Kiritsugu Emiya, who uses magic as a means, and from the moment Kenneth stepped into the castle of Einzberen, there are endless traps mixed with various technologies waiting for him to enter.

It was as if stepping on a rotten floor, and then a sharp sword pierced from underneath, a bullet shot in the shadows through the image of a monitor, and the pain of the wound in the right shoulder came in bursts. It continued to ache as if he was laughing at Kenneth.

For Kenneth, who is a genius magician, it is definitely not because of the wounds he has suffered in battle. Absolutely that kind of thing doesn't deserve to be called a fight. This kind of thing is just a trifle. Something like being bitten by a wild dog. Just bad luck. It's good to laugh at it as bad luck. The opponent is an ant who does not deserve to be called an enemy, and it is garbage that feels unpleasant to even enter the field of vision.

Even if I convinced myself like this, the wound in my shoulder was still painful. The pain of being burned little by little rebuked Kenneth's pride and ate away at his self-esteem. Kenneth's cold face was as expressionless as a mask.

The anger that went nowhere turned into a destructive impulse that spread along the Moon Spirit Fluid, and Kenneth's blade of mercury sliced through the walls of the surrounding corridors.

The so-called Moon Spirit Liquid is one of Kenneth's many magic dresses, and it is also Kenneth's favorite dress. A three-in-one costume that uses magical mercury to defend, attack, and search. The attack is an attack that uses mercury to condense into a whip-like attack on the target, which is comparable to the attack of a knife blade; Defense is to change mercury into a thin film to resist attacks, and because the principle of fluid mechanics is used, it cannot defend against attacks that change drastically.

Mercury filled with magic remembers a variety of action patterns and is set to respond appropriately to each situation. With the destructive power of physical energy, Keneth is the strongest of Kenes' armaments.

Kenneth walks like a sleepwalker and chases after the fleeing Emiya Kiritsugu. Only the amorphous mercury block took the place of the master's heart and followed him with murderous energy. Instead of pushing open the door that blocks the way, it is crushed with the weight of mercury. Whether it is a vase, a painting, or an elegant piece of furniture, all the ornaments you see are shattered and destroyed.

There are many traps along the way. Grab Kenneth's defenseless fingers with a rope, or step on the tube in the blanket, and the configured grenade explodes, and the mine releases shotguns. At that time, the mercury protective film that expands in an instant will cut it off completely.
