At night, in Luvia's mansion.

"How's Illya?"

In the room that served as a makeshift treatment room, an anxious voice could be heard from Blackie.

"The wound in the chest is fortunately not pierced in the heart, and it has begun to heal after using the medicine of the four seasons."

Rin tells everyone about Illya's situation.

"Hey, how could this happen?"

Luvia pressed her forehead, a sad look on her face.

"Haven't the seasons come back with news yet?"

Miyuki, who was standing in the corner of the room, crossed her arms anxiously.

"Ahh

Hatsuzakura next to her shook her head.

Almost everyone is in the room at this time, except for the four seasons.

"Hmmm......"

Suddenly, a soft grunt sounded in the room, faint, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Miyu! Belch! ”

Illya woke up, not yet recovering from what had happened, and she tried to get up all of a sudden, but she was involved in the wound and she screamed in pain.

"Illya, are you awake?"

"Illya-sama, that's great!"

Ruby and sapphire appeared on Illya's head, one left and one right.

"What is this?"

"Lie down and don't move, you're still hurt."

Rin walked over and held her down.

"That's right! Mei Yu her! I ......"

"They have already told us about the ruby of Meiyu."

Rin briefly told them about the fact that they had noticed Illya's situation and rushed over to rescue her, but unfortunately the battle had happened so quickly that by the time they arrived, Miyu was gone.

"Namiyu is ...... now"

"Shiki tried to chase it, but there is no news yet."

Miyuki said to Illya.

"What the hell is that guy Miyu doing!"

Little Black stomped his feet, seemingly complaining endlessly.

"It's not Meiyu's fault."

Illya quickly shook her head and pressed her hand to her chest. The pain of the wound still didn't stop, but Illya knew that if Miyu thought about it at the time, the injury she had suffered would definitely not be as simple as it was now.

"She must have something to worry about."

"Of course we know that!"

Blackie glared at Illya.

"Miyu would betray this kind of thing, and no one believed it from the beginning."

"That's it."

Rin and the others nodded their heads as well.

"If Miyu also betrays, I will never believe in love again."

Miyuki spread her hands.

"Miyuki-sama, please tell me what you know."

Caster, who grasped the point, pricked up his ears.

"Now is not the time to talk about such things."

Miyuki pushes Caster aside.

Not to mention Miyuki and them, Illya was relieved to see that everyone didn't regard Miyu as an enemy, but her heart became heavy when she thought of Miyuki.

In the end, she couldn't do anything for Meiyou.

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Illya, and it wasn't just from her body.

For a moment silence enveloped the room, and no one knew what to say or do.

Suddenly, Hatsuzakura's ears trembled.

"The Four Seasons are back!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered up, and it could be said that they were all looking forward to what news Shiki would be able to bring back.

After a few moments, Shiki pushed the door open and walked in.

"How's it going?"

Miyuki asked first.

"It's not going to be good."

The four seasons didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

"Miyu was not found, but it is likely that she has already made contact with the enemy."

Regardless of everyone's reactions, Shiki talked about his discovery.

After noticing Illya's condition, Shiki rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and after handing Illya over to the others to take back, he chased after Miyu's traces. Whether it was the remnants of magic or the remnants of memory, he quickly discovered the traces of Meiyou. But all traces disappeared halfway through, like a rag wiping away all traces of qiē. Although he didn't directly see the scene of Miyu's contact with the Dominator, he was able to erase the traces without any traces, and only the Dominator could do this. And because the traces were gone, he couldn't find it anymore.

"Doesn't that mean all the clues are broken?"

"Yes."

Shiki answered Miyuki's questions head-on.

The bad news caused an oppressive atmosphere in the room.

"Nami Yuu She ......"

Illya struggled as if to get up again.

"Can't leave her alone. Something has to be done...... Belch! ”

The pain from the wound turned Illya's face pale, but she didn't stop.

"Illya!"

"Lord Elijah!"

Ruby and Sapphire fly over to stop Illya.

"Calm down."

Just as Illya continued to struggle, the flat voice of the four seasons came softly, and then I saw Illya's movements slowing down.

"Let's get some sleep."

Shiji's voice sounded again, like a speech, and Illya's eyes slowly closed, and although she still wanted to hold on, she immediately fell into a complete sleep.

Seeing that the four seasons let Illya sleep, Rin and Luvia didn't stop them, so it's better to let Illya rest at this time.

"Then we can't do anything now, right?"

Hei, who had resettled Illya, asked Shiki, which was the question of most people now.

“……”

In fact, the four seasons had already thought about the current situation before.

Miyu has already been in contact with the Dominator, but for the time being, there is no need to worry about Miyu's safety, because of her status as a Holy Grail, the other party should not treat her well. Unlike the artificially created Holy Grail like Illya, Miyu is a Beingzài who is born with the power of the Holy Grail, so the act of taking out the heart (the core of the Holy Grail) should not be done by the other party. It's just that this is also temporary, and once the Holy Grail Ritual is activated, Miyu's consciousness as a human will also collapse.

Thinking about it from the enemy's point of view, the Holy Grail War has begun here, and Miyu came to the enemy and brought the rank cards they recovered to the enemy. As long as the soul of the Heroic Spirit is recovered by the Little Grail, the Holy Grail can be séanced in the Spirit Land. If you want to perform the ritual, you just need to get Illya, who is the Little Grail.

However, this is not necessarily absolute, because it is not impossible for Meiyu's existence to replace Illya.

In other words, at this time, they have obtained the most important Holy Grail in the Holy Grail Ritual, so the next action of the other party is likely to activate the Holy Grail Ritual, and the enemy has to go to the location where the Holy Grail can be summoned.

Suddenly, Shiki's mind felt like someone had cut off the thread, and it was from the Shikigami he had released.

Those thoughts were thought about by Shiki when Miyu disappeared before, so he also made some responses. In addition to the Shikigami who was released to find Miyu, he was also sent out to monitor certain locations.

At this time, Shikigami lost contact with one of the places, and that place was Yanagidong Temple, one of the spiritual veins that can cause the Holy Grail to descend.
