"Wait...... I didn't say you could allow your master to stay, right? ”

Just when the kind-hearted good vixen thought that he could walk away in this way, Chu Xuan's smooth and uninhibited, boring voice as if it were a machine sounded before Kishiba Baiye spoke again.

Yuzao's body paused for a moment, then turned his head sharply to stare at Chu Xuan, the hairs on his ears and tail stood up, and he said angrily in a somewhat funny Kansai accent:

"Why! She said that she wouldn't use the spell, and we have been under your surveillance, why do you still refuse to let her go! ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied in a flat tone:

"We'll let her go, but of course we'll make sure she's not out of sight of us.

Human minds are very complicated, especially for a little girl like her, and if it weren't for the deterrent power we bring, she might not have any other thoughts.

Still have questions? ”

“……”

The fox spirit girl stared at Chu Xuan's hateful poker face hatefully, as if she was going to transform her own prototype and eat this nasty facial paralysis glasses man in one bite, but the situation was stronger than people, and after a while, her ears and tail drooped, and she said in a low voice:

"No problem."

"Tamamomae, it's okay, I'm going to go with me.

I, we...... Aren't we friends? ”

After being ordered by Chu Xuan to follow, the timid and cowardly ordinary girl Kishiba Shirano stopped crying, she wiped her tears with the palms of her two hands, and in turn smiled and comforted her vixen.

"Shirano ......"

There seemed to be something shiny in the vixen's eyes, but she immediately sniffed sharply, and then nodded heavily:

"Hmmm! It's a friend!

You are my most special friend! ”

"In that case, let's go on the road together."

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Chu Xuan, who was reflective in his glasses, said lines that seemed to be the opposite **oss, but decent people would occasionally say this when they were slaying demons.

"Bai Ye, let's go!"

Tamamo glared at Chu Xuan angrily, then took Kishiba Hakuno's hand and walked away with her most special friend completely "without anyone", as if Artoria and Joan of Arc who were following them did not exist at all.

However, Chu Xuan didn't care, he and Alice Fell undid the magic trick of dispersing the crowd and making people sleep, and then followed the two servants on his side.

Although it opens up the meridians of the whole body...... In the technical term of magic, Chu Xuan, who has built all the magic circuits, already has the magic power, but he can't use any magic himself.

But this didn't mean that Chu Xuan really couldn't use magic, he was inspired by the ritual of summoning servants, and focused on studying the method of using magic with the help of foreign objects.

In fact, as long as the drawn magic circle was used to replace the spell model built with his own magic power when the magic was activated, and then some kind of magic power storage device was used instead of his own magic power output, and he was only guided by his spirit, Chu Xuan could also use magic like other magicians.

However, Chu Xuan, who should theoretically have ** magic power, is no different from ordinary people, there is no magic power in the usual sense in his body, and he can't absorb magic power from the outside world or export magic power outside his body with the usual magic ** theory, so he can only use the magic power stored in the gem by Alice Phil to launch magic tricks.

This means that in theory, not only Chu Xuan, but any ordinary person, after undergoing special spiritual power training, can also use magic tricks within the tolerance limit of his spiritual power.

However, for some "political" reasons, Chu Xuan did not conduct this kind of research on the "magic guide" that allowed ordinary people to use magic, and he himself used a magic card that miniaturized the magic circle and engraved it on a card made of a special material, and then inlaid with magic gems.

The concept of this magic card is similar to the magic scroll in Western fantasy novels, but the upper limit of the magic power that the magic circle can withstand after miniaturization will also be greatly reduced, and the more expensive materials than ordinary magic circles must be used to ensure the power when depicting; Moreover, mana storage systems that can store large amounts of mana are also very expensive, and few people even magicians can afford them.

It was the existence of these two shortcomings that Chu Xuan's research did not touch the Einzberen family...... Or a certain sensitive nerve of the magician nobles, and for the wealthy magic giant Einzberen's family, they don't care about using all kinds of rare materials to enhance Chu Xuan's combat effectiveness, as long as Chu Xuan can win the Holy Grail, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it.

But...... If Chu Xuan finally let their investment go down the drain......

"Huh...... Why do I feel like my conscience is aching, as if we have become bad people......"

On the way to the western mountain forest of the private Ho Qunyuan School Park, Artoria looked at Tamamo Mae and Kishiba Shirano who were holding hands from behind, lowered her voice, and said to Joan of Arc in a rather tangled tone.

"This is the Holy Grail War!"

Joan of Arc let out a long sigh, and it was precisely because of this that she was awakened by Chu Xuan that she gave up guarding this ugly competition that made the seven servants and masters kill each other.

However, she immediately drew a cross on her chest, looked at the pair of good friends in front of her in an extremely gentle tone and said:

"But we don't have to be sad about it, because the Virgin Mary is watching them all the time."

"Hmm......"

Artoria felt a little inexplicable and didn't know what it had to do with the Virgin Mary, but she still retained a minimum of respect for Joan of Arc's faith, so she didn't say anything in the end.

But she always felt that if the Virgin Mary had also looked at her and her sister Morgan, and at her and Queen Guinevia, perhaps the tragedy that had taken a major turn in her fate in those two acts would not have happened again.

(Sister...... Guinivia......

If I use the power of the Holy Grail to return to the time when I first drew the sword in the stone, what expression should I use to face you...... ）

Touched in a certain way, Artoria looked up at the blue sky and fell into some strange state of mind, until Tamamo stopped in the mountains and forests, and she still couldn't let go.

"This battle, leave it to Joan of Arc."

Chu Xuan, who had reflective glasses, glanced at Artoria who was absent-minded, and then decisively handed over the task of sending Yuzao back to his hometown to get married.

"Huh...... Is it me......"

Although he was more or less mentally prepared, after being named by Chu Xuan, Joan of Arc's face still turned embarrassed.

Because of her unshakable faith, coupled with the strong magic power of the Saber rank itself, Joan of Arc's magic power level is the highest EX level, and the genuine Saber Artoria is only **, so it can be said that she is the best person to deal with Caster.

But...... I don't know why, Joan of Arc always felt that Chu Xuan's choice seemed to be a little ...... Vile.

Absolutely not, it's definitely not because it's like asking her to hand over a "vote" or something!

"The last time I fought with Lancer was Artoria, so I think this battle should be handed over to you, is there any problem?"

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and explained seriously.

"Ah......h

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan chose her only for the sake of fairness, Joan of Arc felt that she had really spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain just now, and her face rose with two red clouds because of shame, and she replied with a little stammering:

"No, no problem."

"Then let's get on.

While I'm sure Tamamo won't play any tricks on her, her master may be desperate to use the spell when she's overly emotional, so you'll want to be focused at all times, and it's best to deal with the caster neatly before the other person uses the spell. ”

Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly, as if he was completely unaware of Joan of Arc's slander against him just now, and he also "cared" about her very much, which made Joan of Arc feel even more embarrassed.

"I'll be careful, and ...... Thank you. ”

Joan of Arc dropped a word of thanks with a blushing face, then immediately turned around and walked to the battlefield with an inexplicably fast-beating heart.

It's just that she doesn't know that although Tamamo, who is already waiting there, seems to be very weak, but like Joan of Arc's magic power, the fox spirit girl's spell level also "happens" to be EX level.

And Tamamo used "spells" instead of "magic", ordinary magic is a program that "arranges what you have", but spells are programs that "use your own ** as materials to arrange", and the spells before Tamamo are all physical phenomena that use your own body to perform, which means that the impact of simple anti-magic ability on her is less than that of ordinary caster.

"I am Joan of Arc of France, salute you!"

By the time Joan of Arc stepped onto the battlefield, the crimson on her face had completely receded, and the peasant girl from Orleans raised her sword in front of her, paying her respects to Tamamo with a not-so-standard knightly salute and giving her real name.

"Ah...... Joan of Arc! ”

Forced to stand with Chu Xuan and them, Kishiba Shirano who looked at the "battlefield area" very worriedly, exclaimed softly, although she didn't know what Joan of Arc had done, but even like this, she had heard of this name, so this beautiful maiden knight was really very famous.

"Well...... We don't know much about the Heroic Spirits of the West, but you seem to be a good fellow.

You're welcome, let's have a good fight! ”

Despite being in a disadvantageous position in the relationship between Shengke, Tamamo fully showed the demeanor of a great youkai who had lived for thousands of years at this time, and responded to the other party's etiquette gracefully and heartily. (To be continued.) )
