“ex――calibur！” x2

In one day...... No, within an hour, Artoria had used Excalibur, which had consumed an unusually large amount of mana, for the third time, and if it weren't for the fact that two of them had used the magic of the spell, perhaps without being attacked by others, she would have disappeared on her own.

But even so, at the end of the attack, Artoria, who had released Excalibur many times, still looked very weak, and even had to lean on Chu Xuan's chest to barely stand.

"No matter how many times I watched it, I thought it was unbelievable, it was almost magical.

――Of course, in terms of attack power alone, it may even be surpassed. ”

After the ball of light, which was brighter than the sun, gradually disappeared, Tosaka Tokitomi actually had the leisure to evaluate Artoria's attack power, which can only show one thing - the extremely difficult liquid metal monster has been completely evaporated into cosmic dust by the EX-class "high-energy particle cannon".

No, if this was the case, Tosaka Tokitomi would not have been able to behave so personably, and it made him feel relaxed and happy, as if a certain mountain pressed above his head had been **......

Joan of Arc, the eighth servant, who was ready to sacrifice and voluntarily pestered the monster, also did not appear in his field of vision again.

In this way, the operation of this "crusade against the violators" came to a successful end, not only using Jack the Ripper (it should be Jack the Ripper?). The Makiri family who attacked the "staff" in charge of the aftermath was duly punished, and in the dark, a god of justice took back the eighth servant secretly summoned by the Einzberen family.

Is...... The heavens are clear, and the retribution is not happy!

"This time, thanks to the great sacrifice of the Einzberren family, Fuyuki City was able to avoid the catastrophe, and I thank you on behalf of all the residents of Fuyuki City."

Tosaka Shichen, who was in a happy mood, bowed very politely to Chu Xuan and the others, and he didn't know how many of the residents of Fuyuki City were willing to be represented by him.

Chu Xuan hugged the weak Artoria with his left hand and the unconscious Alice Phil with his right hand, but he still raised his hand a little reluctantly and pushed down the reflective glasses, and then asked Tosaka Shichen with an expressionless face:

"In that case, can you make up the spell you said before?"

For Chu Xuan's direct and utilitarian request, Tosaka Shichen still couldn't adapt to it, but as a "winner", he was very willing to maintain his demeanor in front of the "loser".

So Tosaka Toshichen showed an elegant smile and replied without a trace of anger:

"Of course, we all believe that with your merits, you are well deserved to be rewarded with the Spell."

"That's good."

Chu Xuan didn't continue to argue with Tosaka Shichen, after Yan Fenglizheng, who was the overseer, gave him a second spell, he picked up Alice Phil again in the posture of a princess, and quickly left the huge pit with Artoria, who looked very tired.

"Next ......"

After Chu Xuan and the others disappeared from view, Tosaka Shichen turned around with a spring breeze on his face, and said to Yan Feng and his son in a slightly smug tone:

"Just ask Qili to transfer the ownership of the lancer to me.

In addition, I also paid a huge sacrifice in this crusade, and like Chu Xuan, it is not too much to get a total of two orders to compensate, right? ”

“……”

Yan Feng Qili looked at his master Tosaka Shichen with eyes as calm as stagnant water without emotional fluctuations, and then at his father Yan Feng Lizheng, and finally fell to Elizabeth, the servant who seemed to be smiling? Bathory.

Still, after a few seconds of eye contact with the mentally ill lancer, he nodded and replied without hesitation:

"No problem."

"Thank you for everything the Yanfeng family has done for the Tosaka family!"

In the face of Yan Feng's father and son, who have been helping him for free, Tosaka Shichen also rarely threw away his hypocritical elegance, and bowed to Yan Feng's father and son sincerely, and only said the most ordinary and sincere words of gratitude in his mouth.

"After all, I'm an old friend of your father, and I have no interest in pursuing the desire of a magician whose roots are magicians."

Yan Fengli nodded to Tosaka Shichen with a smile, and after Yan Feng Qili transferred the contract with Lancer to Tosaka Shichen, he added two more spells to him who had already used up three spells.

Then, Yan Fengli waved his hand to Tosaka Shichen and Yan Feng Qili, signaling them and Lancer to leave, while he stood on the edge of the pit and did not move:

"Go back and prepare for the final battle, the rest of the road is up to you, and I'll be here to direct the aftermath of the Templar Church and the Magic Society.

This big pit...... It's a lot of work to cover up, oh hehehe......"

Yan Fenglizheng's laughter was very relaxed, but this was also a matter of course.

Now Tosaka Toshitomi has three advantages:

The first point is that the servant of the Einzberen family has already consumed a lot of mana, and it is difficult to replenish it in a short time.

Second, the servant of the Einzberen family has exposed a lot of important information, including his real name.

The third point is that the Tosaka family occupies a favorable location, and can quickly lock on to Chu Xuan and the others who are leaving, just like Lani, the "former predecessor" of Lani, who found Lancer, and does not give the other party a chance to use means other than the spell to replenish their magic power.

Tosaka Shichen and Chu Xuan had agreed before that after the crusade ended, the Holy Grail War would not start again until eight o'clock in the evening, and as long as it was not delayed until the next day, the servant of the Einzberen family would not be able to recover much magic.

Not...... Although the servant can also "replenish magic" from magicians in some way, would King Arthur's dignity allow her to replenish her magic in "that way"? It's impossible!

Therefore, Yan Feng Lizheng doesn't need to worry anymore, in the final battle, Tosaka Shichen can win with his excellent ability, if he can't win like this, it can only mean that he really didn't get the Holy Grail's life.

“…… It is for this reason that as soon as eight o'clock is over, we must immediately launch an attack on the house of Einzbellen.

And judging by the information I have obtained, the Einzberen family is also well aware of their own disadvantages, so they have put their hopes on summoning the Holy Grail in advance.

Although it is possible to summon the Holy Grail as long as five servants are destroyed, without the magic of the sixth servant, this Holy Grail is actually incomplete and can fulfill wishes, but it cannot fulfill the magician's ultimate wish - to reach the "root".

However, it should be noted that in addition to the Archer, Assassin, Caster, **erserker, and Rider being eliminated, the Eighth Servant summoned by the Einzberen family was also eliminated, and Chu Xuan was already able to summon a complete Holy Grail.

Now, Chu Xuan, who disguised himself as returning to Einzberen City outside Fuyuki City, has actually taken the artificial man and the Knight King of the Einzberen family into the secret altar set up in the 'Dragon Cave' of Enzang Mountain, which only the 'Imperial Three Families' know, and it is likely that it was the idea of reaching the 'root' first when we went to attack Einzberen City.

Unfortunately, it is not easy for a group of outsiders in Fuyuki City to hide from me, the Fuyuki manager, and I will go to the Dragon's Cave when it is almost eight o'clock and raid the Einzberen house the moment the Holy Grail War resumes. ”

In the Tosaka family's mansion, Tosaka Shichen, who had just had dinner, was talking to Yan Feng Qili and Elizabeth in high spirits? Bathory recounted his judgment on the final battle.

Now that the hour hand is pointing to seven o'clock, in a few hours, he will be able to fulfill the long-cherished wish of all magicians and use the power of the Holy Grail to reach the coveted "root".

But I don't know what will happen after reaching the "root", whether he can come back from the "root" again, if before reaching the "root", no one can share this happiness with him, no one can witness and record his path to success, wouldn't it be too much**?

"Qili, I have always been proud to be able to take you as an apprentice."

After the excitement passed, Tosaka Shichen sat on the sofa opposite Yan Feng Qili and put out his last words to confess...... Or a similar posture, he said what was in his heart to his apprentice.

"I hope you can maintain a close relationship with the Tosaka clan like Ling Zun in the future. How is it? ”

"I can't ask for it."

Yan Feng Qili replied expressionlessly in a tone without any emotional fluctuations, but as his master, Tosaka Shichen knew very well that he was not perfunctory.

"After the Holy Grail War is over, Kiri, I hope you can guide Rin as a senior brother.

Well...... To put it simply, this can be considered my last words, and this is also just in case.

And...... Regardless of whether I succeed or fail in the end, I will probably never come back, and no one knows what the 'roots' are like. ”

At this time, Tosaka Shichen pushed a letter and wooden box that had been prepared on the coffee table in front of Yan Feng Qili, and continued:

"Here is a handwritten letter from me handing over the head of the Tosaka clan to Rin, and appointing you as her guardian to guard her until she reaches adulthood.

In addition, there is a gift I gave you, open it and take a look. ”

In front of Tosaka Shichen, Yan Feng opened the wooden box and found that it was a short sword inside.

"Azoth Sword, this is as proof that you have completed the magic practice of the Tosaka family."

"The teacher's kindness is like the sea, ** is not good, I can't thank you enough."

Yan Feng Qili took out this magic souvenir that is often given by his parents or teachers at the magician's ** or graduation ceremony, and took it in his hand to admire it carefully, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to Tosaka Shichen.

"I owe it to you to thank you, Qili.

That way, I can participate in the final battle without any worries. ”

Tosaka Shichen showed a rare "kind" smile, and then he stood up as if he understood all the things on his mind, and said to Yan Feng Qili dryly:

"The hour has come, and I have gone."

"Good all the way, Master."

Standing up with Tosaka Shichen, Yan Feng Qili, who was sending his master on the road behind his back, said in a voice that seemed a little weird.

His poker face, which had not changed for thousands of years like Chu Xuan, tried to show a rather stiff smile for the first time.

"Poof!" (To be continued.) )
