After the explosion subsided, the emperor penguin put away his energy shield and stood up, Sasaki Kojiro, who was at the center of the explosion, was lying in the deep pit, and under the supply of the huge magic power of the Yanagi Temple, he could still survive, and the long knife called the Mogan rod had long been broken, and he begged the emperor penguin with his eyes, as if to let him give him a ride.

"Kojiro, there is a white hole and a white tomorrow waiting for you." The emperor penguin played a stalk, walked over and waved the long knife, ending Sasaki Kojiro's life, and then changed his hand and took out the lantern from the space, under the golden light, Sasaki Kojiro's body turned into a mist of light and dissipated, and his soul entered the small chalice, together with other dead heroic spirits, waiting for the end of the Holy Grail War and returning to the Heroic Throne outside the world.

The next day, at the suggestion of the emperor penguin, Saber drove the two lords in the car provided by the emperor penguin to the castle of the Einzberen family in the middle of the sea of trees, and asked for help from the Einzberen family's royal lord, Iliya.

Before leaving, Rin Tosaka asked the emperor penguin, "Why?" We already have three servants on our side, so why do we have to ask for help from someone surnamed Einzberen? ”

The emperor penguin gestured with his chin to the direction where the cherry blossoms were, and said, "It's not because of the people of the Ma Tong family?" The guy who was knocked down by Soichiro Katsugi got an amazing helper. That guy gets serious, and can end the Holy Grail War in one night - against that kind of guy, I think it's better to bring in the strong force of Berserker, and in extraordinary times, we must unite all the forces that can be united. ”

"Shinji? Haha, you're talking about Shinji! The girl in the red coat let out a silver bell-like laugh, and she said, "Just that half-hanger? No, he's not even as good as the half-Shirou Emiya. Shirou Emiya, who was wearing a mask on the side, said that he was innocent.

The emperor penguin echoed and laughed twice, and then said, "Hahaha, it was this waste wood that almost killed an entire school member last time. ”

Rin Tosaka's laughter grew lower and lower until he couldn't hear it: "Shinji, he shouldn't be ......?" ”

The emperor penguin laughed mockingly twice and said, "Won't? A person born in a magician family, as the eldest man in the family, but he has no talent for magic at all, this kind of situation of complete unequal birth and ability can easily distort the personality of teenagers who are not yet mentally mature. Speaking of which, the emperor penguin intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Rin Tosaka's area above the waist and below the neck - in comparison, the younger sister (Maki Sakura) was already mature.

Rin Tosaka squinted: "Why do I feel a malice?" ”

Emperor Penguin said, "Master, think about it, does Shinji Makiri show a self-centered and often contemptuous look at others at school, and I look like I am called Shinji and I am the most scheming. ”

"That's right, but it's normal!" Rin Tosaka pinched his chin and said, "Shinji always maintains a score of being within five in school, and he is good at sports, plus he is rich and good-looking, and there are many girls around him, and it is normal for ordinary people to show his domineering appearance - why do you have such an expression?" ”

The emperor penguin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about my tragic past."

When I was in middle school, I was the kind of ordinary person who looked ordinary and wasn't good at words, and I was at the bottom of my studies and sports, and I was usually the kind that no one paid attention to at all.

Later, at a high school reunion, almost everyone couldn't call me by name, and one of them sat at the same table with me for half a year...... I didn't talk about a girlfriend until I graduated from college, and I'm still single - the Holy Grail can be not, and Shinji Makiri must die. ”

Rin Tosaka only joked with him: "Put your matter aside for a while and continue to analyze Shinji, although your analysis and theory usually sound nonsense, it turns out that your words are basically right." ”

Emperor Penguin's expression changed, and he said happily: "Master, do you agree with my opinion on the footbasin and the rice country?" ”

Rin Tosaka pinched his waist with both hands: "What do you think?" ”

"OK, I understand, the enslavement education in the United States is really successful, and even magicians are not immune." The emperor penguin said, "But, Master, it's getting late, and you're ready to go." ”

Rin Tosaka nodded, thought of a question, and said, "Aren't you going?" ”

Emperor Penguin said with a humble face: "You two lords go to negotiate, and Saber can be regarded as bodyguards if he goes."

And if Archer and I go too, I guess the Einzberen family will think that we are going to war.

Rin Tosaka nodded: "I see-shouldn't you let Emiya Shirou wash the painting off his face?" He looks like a clown now. ”

Emperor Penguin crossed his arms and said, "The humorous environment will help the negotiation to succeed, let him go like this, maybe Illya will be happy and agree to our cooperation." ”

Emiya Shirou: "......"

Because you can't reach the sea of trees without walking a kilometer along the woods, and the forest is covered with the enchantment of Einzbelen's house, and the entry and exit will be monitored; And when entering, the higher the mana, the stronger the resistance.

So after Saber parked the car, Rin Tosaka, standing at the entrance of the jungle, said to Emiya Shirou, "Emiya-san, your image should be able to arouse the favor of Illya Sfil, you take off your mask first, go first." ”

Emiya Shirou's face was dark, although he didn't take off his mask, but he still took a step forward according to what Rin Tosaka said, and when he stepped into the range of the enchantment, an electric current was generated out of thin air and hit his feet, and Emiya Shirou, who was shocked, hurriedly took a few steps back: "What is this!" ”

Rin Tosaka said in a tone that was sure to be true, "It's Einzberen, after several generations of management, from the castle to the surrounding woods, there are all kinds of magic traps and enchantments, and the entire forest is perfectly governed. ”

Emiya Shirou said: "It means that we are going to enter the opponent's well-defended position." ”

"Don't worry, we're here to negotiate, not a surprise attack." Rin Tosaka said with a snickered face, "Emiya-san, how do you feel?" ”

Emiya Shirou said, "It's numb, it's like being electrocuted by static electricity." ”

"Really?" Rin Tosaka subconsciously waved her hand, and a thunderbolt exploded at her feet, lifting her out three meters away.

Rin Tosaka sat up and shouted through gritted teeth, "Little ghost! You've done this kind of thing! You must be snickering somewhere right now! The angry voice spread far away, startling countless birds resting in the forest.

In the castle of the Einzberen family in the depths of the woods, the petite Illya, dressed in a purple dress, looked at the annoyed and angry Rin Tosaka through the crystal ball, swayed excitedly from side to side on the chair, and said, "Hit!" Hit! ”

She clenched one hand into a fist on her chin and said excitedly as if she had found some interesting toy, "Rin is so funny and worth teasing, why don't you remove a few traps?" ”

The android maid who stood beside her, Lijlit, complained and said, "Miss, will you just let them in?" ”

"Questions?" Illya, like a normal child, looked back and forth at the two maids who had been taking care of her, and argued loudly, "Didn't they say they were here to negotiate?" ”

Illya turned her gaze back to the crystal ball and looked at Shirou Emiya, who was talking to Rin Tosaka, and recalled the melancholy back in her mind: "Also, I have a question about Kiritsugu as well. ”

"Miss!" The other maid, Serra, let out a puffed snort.

Illya tilted her head slightly and said playfully, "Sierra is really worried, even if there is any real attempt, even if Saber is here, they can't win against Berserker." ”

"But......" Serra tried to persuade Illya.

Illya waved her fist dissatisfied, closed her eyes and turned her head away, and said in her delicate and soft voice like cream: "I'm annoyed, I've decided!" As the lord of the castle, I decided to entertain them. ”

Serra understood that she couldn't stop Illya from letting the three of them in, so she adopted a roundabout way: "Miss, as Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Einzberen family, you should send an invitation in advance, and then hold a banquet according to etiquette. ”

"I see." Illya said, "Then, Serra, you go and get those three people in." ”

"Huh?" Illya's order left Sierra unresponsive for a moment.

At the same time, in the roof garden of the castle, Shinji Maki screamed and fell from mid-air, and when he was about to make a violent close contact with the ground and fall into a mess of minced meat, he stopped under the action of an inexplicable force, only his face collided with the ground a light and heavy: "It hurts! ”

Shinji Jian Tong knelt on the ground and covered his waist that he twisted when he landed, and howled loudly: "That guy, wantonly take others around, what the hell is this place!" ”

Noticing that outsiders had broken into the castle, Serra and Lijielet, armed with a huge axe and gun, went to the rooftop garden.

Speechless, heartless, and expressionless, Ligeret said to Serra, "That, Shirou? Wrong. ”

Serra said, "Well, it looks like he's just a harmless imp, hurry up and deal with him, we still have to capture Emiya Shirou and Rin Tosaka alive." ”

Because Shinji Maki had his back to Serra, he stood up and turned around before noticing them: "You two should be the maids of the Einzberen family." ”

Seeing the appearance of the two clearly, Shinji Maki fiddled with his hairstyle, and said, "Hey, you guys...... Ah——!h ”

Without waiting for Shinji Maki to finish speaking, Lijielit picked up the axe and stabbed it, and Shinji Maki hurriedly held the spike used as the head of the gun, and the muscles of his face were extremely distorted because of fear, and anyone who saw it would praise him: "Good face!" ”

Serra, who was standing behind Shinji Makiri, said in a natural tone: "We don't have time to entertain uninvited guests, whether to leave immediately, or stay and cut off your hands and feet to make fertilizer, please make a choice within ten seconds." ”

Shinji Makiri's gaze shifted back and forth between Lijielit in front of him and Serra in the right rear with the swing of his head, waving his hands in Lijielit's faster and faster countdown: "No, wait, wait—just kidding!" ”

"What did I think it was? It turned out to be the alchemical lifeform of the Einzberen family, an artificial human. ”
