Chapter 5: The Eve of the Summoning of the Heroic Spirit
"Hmm~ Illya is going to bed, good night to big brother, Sister Esther, and Sister Aier."
The snow-white elf, who had been playing all day, rubbed her eyes, and followed the maid who took care of her to her room, holding a large stuffed animal.
"What a lovely child."
"Yes~"
Su Mo and Erquit watched Little Lori's departure with happy expressions.
"I know how to respect me as the highest elf, and I can barely admit her existence."
Esther, who seemed to have misunderstood something, nodded solemnly.
'You're just being used as a big toy by the little girl. β
- Su Mo thought so, of course, he was very bad-hearted, he would not tell his elf lady the truth.
However, although Su Mo and the others successfully established a good relationship with the little pure white Lori in a few days of getting along, but
"Press-"
Panting, a certain man dressed in black stared at Su Mo with a harmless smile with an unkind face, and his beautiful wife in a gold-rimmed white dress next to him smiled gracefully.
"Oh, my daughter is terrible."
Su Mo pretended to be scared, but quickly returned to his seriousness under the other party's increasingly cold gaze.
"That's going to start?"
The left hand stroked the bright red mark on the back of the right hand.
"It's ready."
Although he was very unhappy that his baby daughter was so close to another man, Emiya Kiritsugu still didn't delay his business.
"Then let me see it, the so-called Heroic Spirit Summoning!"
And in the far-flung island nation of the Far East. In the dense jungle on the outskirts of the city called Fuyuki City
"Sizzle, it hurts"
One wears a white sweatshirt and black trousers. A teenager with gray-white hair who looks like a high school student pulls a blonde loli out of thin air next to a bush - scaring away a pair of birds who are in love.
"Sure enough, it's because Ming is an unlucky idiot that this is the case?"
Watching the boy clutch his chest and gasping for air, the blonde Lori jumped out of the boy's pull.
"Lola, you're still laughing! To be reasonable, I'm just passing by! Who knows what those and the dead house will fight for for a place, and finally squeeze me into the space passage!! β
Complaining helplessly. The young man whose real name is Wang Ming (please put away the dragon set of Wu Ming, please put it away) raised his head and looked at the clear sky.
In this cold winter, it is quite rare to have a sunny weather like today, but for a teenager
"Ahhh
Immediately covered his two pairs of dark red dead fish eyes, and kept rolling on the ground.
"Really, stupid~"
Lola stepped forward and pulled up the hat behind Wang Ming's sweatshirt to completely cover his face.
"I've been in the dark all the time, and suddenly I got up to look at the sun, which nerve was burned out?"
I always feel that this Lori, who is about to enter the category of a girl, is very poisonous.γ
However, the eyes in her eyes that looked at the young man were extremely gentle.
"Well, since you're here, let's take a part in it, it's quite rare to have a grand event like this."
Stand up. patted the clothes that were already full of footprints, Wang Ming pulled down the brim of his hat again, and said in a deep tone:
"Holy Grail War, let me witness your beginning and destruction."
Originally it could only be said that an ordinary face pulled out an evil arc, and the boy pulled Lola and walked in the direction of Fuyuki City, but when he took the first step
Syllable!!
A jade ornament that had been half-exposed from the pocket of his sweatshirt fell straight out - and unfortunately smashed into the only point of the rock exposed on the surface within a few square meters of the surrounding area, and even more unfortunately, Wang Ming's height was quite tall
"Babble!!! I used the Dragon Breaking Slash method to exchange it for the Luck Jade Pendant that I exchanged for that girl in Liangmeng!! Rotten Broad!!!! β
The cry of pain directly frightened the small animals that had not yet hibernated in the entire woods
"Stupid"
"This is the holy relic you are going to use to summon the Heroic Spirits?"
Su Mo looked at the perfectly preserved scabbard in front of him with a look of amazement.
With blue as the main color, the entire scabbard is framed with noble and elegant pure gold. The mysterious and graceful Elven text drawn in the scabbard seems to attest to how much it is loved.
"The legendary King Arthur's scabbard, Avalon, far away from the world, I didn't expect them to actually find it."
According to the rules of the Holy Grail Summoning, when you have a relic of a Heroic Spirit, you are likely to summon it, and if you don't use the Relic, you will summon an existence that is more compatible with yourself.
And if the legend is true. Then this holy relic in front of you may be able to summon the strongest trump card in this Holy Grail War.
However, with such an advantage, Emiya Kiritsugu did not show any happy look on his face.
"It's so well preserved, is this really an antiquity from 1,500 years ago?"
Emiya Kiritsugu snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand. Begin to draw a magic circle for sΓ©ance with mercury.
In the face of his doubts, Alice Field, who was holding a scabbard that can only be described as a work of art, smiled softly and said:
"Because it's a conceptual armament. Of course, it is not weathered in terms of materiality, and the scabbard worn on the body alone can help people heal their injuries as the legend says. It can even stop aging β provided that the holder is able to provide the magic, of course. β
"The Legendary Knight King"
Hearing the conversation between the husband and wife in front of him, Su Mo let out a long sigh, he still had a considerable impression of the existence that was about to be summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu in the future.
"By the way, Elquit, have you ever met King Arthur himself?"
Seeing Erquit, who was curiously watching the magic array, Su Mo suddenly thought.
"Huh? King arthur? How could I have seen it, after all, I was born less than a thousand years ago. β
Erquette strangely forgot about Su Mo, and then continued to observe.
"Now, you say, what if the legendary knight king is a girl?"
Su Mo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Girls? How could it be, King Arthur couldn't have been a girl! β
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even look back, in fact, in his heart, he didn't want to summon the noble Knight King as his servant, after all, that king was too inconsistent with his character, even if that heroic spirit might have the most powerful power in a normal Holy Grail war once it was summoned, but he didn't expect it and trusted it a little.
If it weren't for the orders of the Einzberen family, he would never have summoned King Arthur himself.
However, he has been quite comfortable in the last few days, from the day Su Mo and Erquit arrived at the Ainzbelen family to be exact.
After all, the combination of a mysterious Huaxia who had defeated the top fantasy species and another vampire True Ancestor, who could be called an enemy of humanity, possessed a power and deterrent that was a little too great.
At least when he learned that the two were going to form an alliance with the House of Eimya, Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil, and that they had no idea of the Holy Grail, the head of the House of Einzberen was scared enough but happy, and after both Sumo and Erquit expressed that they did not want him to dictate to the Holy Grail War, he almost bowed and retreated into the background, and has not yet appeared.
"Well, I'm just talking about it, and I'll know what King Arthur looks like when I summon the Heroic Spirit, who is admired by all the people but has been betrayed."
Su Mo rubbed Esther's little head, who was standing beside him obediently, and looked at the front playfully.
-- The curtain on the beginning of the Holy Grail War is about to be opened. (To be continued.) )
