On the other side, Alice Phil, who fled with Maiya Kuyu, fell into an eerie silence at this time.

Would she have responded if she had spoken first? There's nothing to lose by giving it a try. The two are now in a safe zone cut off from the fighting. Not in a critical situation where you need to be quiet. That being the case. Just as she was about to muster up the courage to speak, but didn't know what to say, Alice Fell forced her voice again. Maiya Hisayu herself is a taciturn person, so naturally she will not be the first to speak. The silence continued as he circled in annoyance. Although the atmosphere was clearly awkward. But Kuyu Maiya moved forward silently without paying attention at all.

"I'm really not good at dealing with this woman"

Alice Phil, who was burying her head in following Kuyu Maiya, suddenly flashed an alarm in her mind when she lowered her head and sighed deeply.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

Maiya Kuyu looked at Alice Phil, who suddenly stiffened and stopped, with a surprised look on her face, and asked worriedly.

"There's a new invader. Just a little ahead of us. If you go on like this, you'll meet. ”

"Let's take a detour, then. It's safe to take a detour north from here. ”

There are new enemies, but this is to be expected. Kuyu Maiya nodded calmly and said to Alice Phil. Alice Phil, who was using clairvoyance magic to examine the intruder's appearance, did not answer immediately.

"It's Yanfeng Qili who came."

Through the shadow of clairvoyance magic, Alice Fell saw a tall man in a dark priest's suit, full of coercion. The short hair and serious appearance are exactly the same as the photos on the collection of materials by Emiya Kiritsugu. But what surprised Alice Phil even more than this was the change in Kuyu Maiya's expression when she told the news. At all times, she is as expressionless as ice, and people can't peek at all the emotions of women. I thought she must be as cold as ice in her heart

Alice Phil's expression on the face of Maiya Kuyu that she saw for the first time now. Restlessness and anger are intertwined. What you can see there is a sense of crisis that is completely different from horror. What she was afraid of should not be the character of Qili, but the state of affairs in which Qili appeared here at this time. Sensing this, Alice Fell realized. Although it is abrupt, Alice Phil understands the heart of this woman.

"Maiya-san, the order you received from Kiritsugu was to ensure my safety, right?"

"Yes. But ......"

Hearing Alice Phil's question, Maiya Hiyu explained something else, but was interrupted by Alice Phil.

"But what? Are you thinking that only that man must not let him go to Kiritsugu? ”

When Alice Phil smiled a little wickedly and pointed out her thoughts. Maiya Kuyu became speechless for a while.

"Madame, you ......"

"By chance. I'm exactly the same as you. ”

Yan Feng Qili is probably the biggest threat to Emiya Kiritsugu. It can be seen from the fact that Maiya Kuyu reacted just by hearing his name.

Although Alice Phil is an artificial person created by the supreme magic of Einzbelen, she falls in love, fulfills that relationship and even becomes a mother. In that way, she acquired a supersensory that a puppet could not understand, but that humans possessed, that is, a woman's intuition.

"Qili is stopped by the two of us here. Is that okay, Maiya-san? ”

After a moment's hesitation, Maiya nodded with a wondrous expression.

"I'm so sorry. But be conscious, ma'am. ”

"It's okay. Don't worry about me. You fulfill your duties. It's not an order from Kiritsugu, it's something you think is necessary. ”

"Yes."

In retrospect, I may have been aware of it. That's why I'm afraid to confirm. Now Alice Phil understood. The reason why he avoided Maiya was not because he was afraid of her, but because he was afraid of knowing her heart. Afraid of the fact that she is not the only woman who cares about Emiya Kiritsu.

"What's wrong?"

In the high-spirited feeling of nearing deathmatch, Alice Phil couldn't help but laugh. Maiya, who took out her submachine gun, glanced at her with a surprised expression.

"The human heart, it's incredible."

In order for Emiya Kiritsugu to gamble with his life, a woman with such determination has someone else besides herself. It was so wonderful for Alice Phil, and it should have been such a worrying answer. Now that fact feels incredibly reliable.

It is not very difficult for Yan Fengqili to speculate on the next course of action chosen by the Ainsbelen camp.

Of course, Yan Feng Qili had no intention of devoting himself to the battle at all. The eastern side of the forest has a high chance of being the site of the battle. Generally speaking, enemies coming from Fuyuki's side will invade from that direction.

So, he waited at the western edge of the forest for the battle to begin, betting on the chance to attack the castle from the opposite side if the battle began on the east side as expected. The Spirited Assassin was released in the forest as a Scout. An Assassin with the Breath Cutting Skill, able to penetrate deep into the barrier and invade undetected. Can't get close to the castle though. It's still okay to observe the movement of the battle on the outside of the forest.

Then, just as Yan Feng Qili had predicted, Kenneth ordered Lancer to invade Einzbehren's position head-on, and the clash between Lancer and Saber began on the east side of the forest. Luckily, Ainzberen only left the Heroic Spirit alone, and the Lord himself kept his door closed. The Assassin's response to the report is an excellent opportunity for Qili.

If Emiya Kiritsugu was a hound, hired by Ainzbelen, then he should be guarding the Master who was defenseless away from the Servants. Now is the time to push it to the brink.

Although he was later alerted by the Assassin and learned that Kenneth Elmeloy Aqipolud was also heading towards the castle, Yan Fengqili did not hesitate, but was even a little anxious. If Emiya Kiritsugu is killed by Kenneth, the purpose of the Yanfeng Qili will not be achieved. In order to come face to face with Emiya Kiritsugu. Yan Feng Qili was even prepared to have to clash with Kenneth in the worst-case scenario, and quickly advanced in the forest.

In addition, depending on the situation of the battle, it is also possible that Einzberen abandoned the castle and fled. At that time, of course, the opposite direction of the eastern battlefield where the servants were fighting should be used as a way out, so there was a possibility of an encounter with Yan Feng Qili.

Just in case, Yan Feng Qili began to prepare for the battle situation in advance, and because of this, he was able to react to the unexpected murderous aura smartly.

But in the blink of an eye, Yan Feng Qili leaned over to dodge the thunderous rain of bullets overhead. Occasionally, even skilled veterans lose their morale and lose their judgment when they are attacked by unexpected machine-gun fire, but this is the exception for the Templar Substitutes. Yan Feng Qili didn't even shed a drop of cold sweat. Calmly extrapolating the situation.
