“Saber。 After a moment of silence, Alice Fell looked at Artoria's cold face, and after hesitation, she said, "Well, as you can imagine, I have your sheath in my body, and Kiritsugu sealed it as a conceptual weapon to protect me. ”

Although Emiya Kiritsugu has repeatedly explained that Alice Phil can't reveal this matter, especially not to let Artoria know, but after getting along for the past few days, looking at Artoria's face, Alice Phil can't say anything to deceive.

"I see. Nodding, Artoria said calmly.

"I'm sure you've already guessed it, after all, if you don't have such a perfect holy relic, it would be impossible to summon you. After all, the compatibility between you and Kiritsugu is so bad. Looking in the direction of the castle, Alice Fell whispered.

Shaking her head with a wry smile, Artoria didn't say anything, her reputation was too great, and the rumors left over from history were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that almost everyone thought that she was a rather old-fashioned and upright knight, and there was no room for a grain of sand in her eyes. But in Artoria's opinion, in fact, she and Emiya Kiritsugu have quite a lot in common, but they don't know it.

From the very beginning, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't think to contact and talk to him, so naturally it was impossible to find out. As for Alice Phil, although she also has a fairly transparent mind, after all, the contact time is still short, and there is no need for Artoria to use any means now, after all, she can use force to push sideways, so why bother to intrigue?

Without trying to explain anything, Artoria said, "In that case, your wounds are healed, so let's hurry back to the castle." ”

There was no wound that Avalon couldn't heal, and Artoria had no doubt about that.

"Don't you want to go back?" Altoria finally asked, looking at Artoria. She originally thought that the other party would take back this extremely important scabbard that belonged to her after knowing about this matter.

"Nope. Shaking his head, he looked at Alice Phil and whispered, "It's best with you now, so I can save a lot of worries." ”

"However, you are the strongest with the scabbard. And only you can use its true power. Alice Phil was puzzled by the Q&A.

"It's okay, I can handle this war without the scabbard, not to mention that your safety is the most important thing now, presumably Kiritsu thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn't have put the scabbard here with you. Artoria had a smile on her face, she had no intention of returning the scabbard, and it was the thing that pleased her that Alice Fell was able to hide it from her.

"Thank you Saber. To be able to meet you in this war is probably the biggest surprise of my remaining days. Alice Fell said with a bright smile on her face.

took a deep look at Alice Phil, and Artoria always felt very strange about the words in her mouth, as if she knew that her life was not long in the world, and she had asked why before, and the lovely Lisfell always smiled and said that she would know later, and Artoria was helpless. "However, I hope that when this war is over, you will be able to hand over the scabbard to me. ”

After all, she has her own purpose.

Somewhere in the world, there's a fool waiting to go back.

And participating in the Holy Grail War is not so much for the Holy Grail as the ultimate goal is the scabbard. She will still claim the Holy Grail for them according to the contract, and get Gaia's help. But it would be nice to be able to get the real Avalon.

"Well, no problem. Alice Fell agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, let's go back quickly, you don't have to worry about Kiritsugu staying alone in the castle, you must know that there are other combinations here. With a smile, he took the unconscious Maiya in his arms and stretched out his hand to Alice Phil.

The night was still dark and quiet, but the traces of the fierce battles scattered everywhere were still clearly visible.

The castle, which had been cleaned up by a maid brought from home, was also badly damaged in the battle between Emiya Kiritsugu and Rod Elumeroi. Even if you want to do the repairs, the maids who are in charge of the chores have already returned to China. Alice Fell sighed and walked through the hallway, trying not to pay attention to the ruinous scene.

After settling the injured Maiya Kuyu, Alice Phil came to her husband's side. Although Alice Phil had already cast healing magic on Maime, Einzbelen's healing magic was originally quite a burden on the wounded, as it evolved from alchemy, not to regenerate the wounded's flesh, but to transform them into new tissues through magic.

Now there is only such a means. If the other party is an artificial person, it would be fine, but now it is a treatment of humans, and according to modern medicine, it is equivalent to a major surgery like organ transplantation.

Exhausted, Maiya is in a state of stupor, and it will take a long time to recover if she wants to regain consciousness and move her body freely.

Thinking that she was being protected by Saber, Alice Fell felt even more sad for Maiya, who was seriously injured. But given their importance in the Holy Grail War, there is no doubt that they must be protected first, this is an indisputable fact. I will be heartbroken because my companion is seriously injured, and I can't help but say that this is my own childish sadness.

"Kiritsugu..."

Looking at her silent husband, Alice Phil didn't know what to do. Maybe he's still blaming Saber for his sudden departure that led to a direct meeting between himself and Lancer, and although he can use the Spell to forcibly summon him, it's clear that Saber's actions annoyed Emiya Kiritsugu.

But Alice Phil couldn't say anything, after all, Saber was out of the battlefield to protect herself, and she could only silently call her husband's name now.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu obviously understands that the two are not dealing with each other, so even with Artoria, a nuclear-level weapon, he still relies on his conviction as always.

However, Kiritsugu was not stupid, he knew that he could not compete with the servants on his own. That's why there is a pair of Alice Phil and Artoria, who attract opponents head-on as the Ainzberen camp. And himself, in the dark, gave the other masters a fatal blow.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria came slowly in such a situation...

"The Lancer's master is no longer capable of fighting, now is the best time to deal with the Lancer's side"

Glancing at Artoria beside Alice Phil, Emiya Kiritsugu said with an unmoving expression. Although Keneth, who was about to be killed by himself, was rescued by Lancer who suddenly arrived because of Saber's release, Kiritsugu was 100% sure that if Kenes hadn't fallen into a coma at the time, he would definitely have ordered Lancer to attack, even if it was at the expense of a spell. But because of Alice Phil, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much. In his mind, it was far from the moment of the final showdown, and Alice was obviously much more important.

Besides, being hit by that bullet, Kenays's life was over.

When the previous generation of Emiya families determined the "origin" of the born son-in-law, they were overwhelmed by the strange result and named the baby "Kiritsu".

Roughly speaking, it is the dual attribute of "fire" and "earth". In detail, it is a composite attribute of "severing" and "combining". That is the essence of his soul form, which is the "origin".

Kiritsugu - There are slight differences in what is called "destruction and regeneration". Because the origin of Kiritsugu does not mean "repair". For example, if a thread is cut and then combined, the thickness of the knot will change. In other words, the act of "cutting and seizing" will cause irreversible "deterioration" of the object.

When asked by the woman to do a handmade job, Kiritsugu was especially aware of his origins. His hands are not very dexterous. If it is a normal item, it can be repaired if it is broken. But as soon as you become a precision machine, things suddenly become the opposite. The more he tried to repair it, the more deadly the damage became.

As a matter of fact, Kiritsugu's manual skills are not superb. If just the ordinary metal wire is broken, the cut part can be reused by connecting the cut part. However, if you use the same essentials to repair delicate electronic circuits, the result is fatal. It's not something that just needs to be plugged in. As long as the wiring is messed up, the circuit will lose its function.

The "roots" are not just due to Kiritsugu's character and temperament, but from the point of view of magic, the essence of the deep roots of the soul.

When making his own dress, Emiya Kiritsugu made the most of the extremely special "origin" he possessed. The first and second ribs on his flanks were removed. The ribs taken out were ground into powder, then condensed with soul engineering and sealed into sixty-six rounds as a core.

This bullet will materialize the "origin" of Kiritsugu to the "hit" object. If it hits the creature's body, there is neither wound nor bleeding, but the part of the bullet becomes like an old necrotic wound. The superficial layer looks like it has been healed, but the nerves and capillaries have not regenerated accurately and have lost their original function.

And this bullet with the function of conceptual armament will pose an even more serious threat to the magician.

Of the sixty-six rounds of ammunition, Kiritsugu had already consumed thirty-seven rounds. But there is not a single waste in it. Using a bullet made from a part of his body, thirty-seven magicians have been completely destroyed.

And the thirty-eighth bullet was also really left in Kenes's body. When Kiritsugu's magic bullet is interfered with by magic, the effect of the "origin" in the bullet will be severely fed back into the magic circuit of the magician.

If you compare a magician's magic circuit to a high-voltage current circuit, Kiritsugu's bullet is a drop of water. What happens if a conductive liquid adheres to a dense electrical circuit - because a short circuit in the loop causes the current to destroy the circuit itself, causing a complete failure.

In other words, Kenes can no longer use magic, which is a boon for the Einzbelen camp. The Holy Grail War has not had a servant out so far, maybe it's a good thing for Alice Phil's body, but after all, it can't go on like this, even if he can't bear it, but Kiritsugu is still willing to be the one who breaks the deadlock.

Again... I had to lose my love because of my ideals, is this my path, Natalia, .......

"Really... I'm sure Kiritsugu and Saber will succeed. As a bond to reconcile the conflict between Kiritsugu and Artoria, Alice Fell did her best to close the gap between her husband and Artoria. Even if she is as gentle as Alice, she can't help but feel a little exhausted.

Suddenly, a roar resounded through the sky, and the night-tearing roar took a huge toll on Alice Phil's magic circuit, and the dizziness almost caused Alice Phil to fall under the porch.

The roar came from close thunder, and the ensuing blast of mana meant that the barrier in the forest outside the city had been attacked. Although the enchantment is not something that is so easy to destroy, the spell has been destroyed.

"What's going on...... A head-on breakout?"
