Act 29: The Devil and the Devil and the Goblin (Part II)
Until then, it was Saber who spoke first than Natsume.
She glanced at Alice Phil, who was still in the hospital room, and didn't say it because she was worried about it.
If I told her, I would have said something worried.
Like a princess, Alice Phil has a kind heart that wants to protect others, and such a heart will make her a sentimental person.
I don't know if it's because of the identity of the 'king', Saber doesn't like such indecisive people.
However, this is not disgust, for Saber, the kind Alice Phil may have become the epitome and projection of what she wants to become.
She has carried everything in the past, has she also thought about putting down all the burdens and carrying them with others?
He thinks that the 'king' is the existence that bears all the responsibilities, which is why the young knight king came here.
Dressed in a black suit, Saber put on white gloves on the outside, looking like she was going to do something.
Retracting his gaze, Saber looked at his left hand, which had been stabbed by Lancer showing no signs of recovery, as if it had been cursed, and could only be kept from being infected by magic.
Taking a breath, Saber noticed that the hospital smelled the same, what seemed to be called disinfectant.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Saber and Natsume sat on the same bench, smelling something strange.
"Before, we met a man."
"That's?"
Caster。
Natsume knew but asked anyway, just to confirm this.
"I don't know who he is. Just judging by the outfit and actions. There was an unsettling aura about him. It's like the wizards who used to endanger the country and clamor to summon natural disasters. ”
"That could be Caster, what did you say?"
"He called me 'Joan of Arc', but my name wasn't, so I told him plainly that I had recognized the wrong person, but it was just ......"
Saber moved his hands.
"It's just that that person doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up, if he is also a Servant, the next time we see him, it will definitely solve him."
That's right.
Simple response. Natsume already knew where the war was going.
After being rejected by his so-called 'Joan of Arc', the caster began a large-scale murderous operation, which was monitored by the Assassins, making them 'disqualified to interfere with the Holy Grail War', and the church issued an announcement to eliminate caster and his master, Ryunosuke Yusui.
With the Command Charm as a reward, let the Masters stop the battle and strike together against the actions of the caster, and eliminate the two Yusheng Ryunosuke who interfered with the Holy Grail battle.
In this case, action must be taken on this side as well.
Even if he hadn't personally heard the church's announcement, Natsume had already thought about it.
Get up from the bench.
"Caster is the former murderer. All you have to do is know that, and you'll stay here for the rest of the day. ”
“Master! If you're going to solve that caster. I'm going with that. ”
"No, you just stay here to protect Ellie, stay with them, and—"
Natsume turned to look out the window behind him.
"It's not as simple as I thought it would be."
According to the normal plot, Kuyu Maiya was not injured and did not come to this hospital, so he must be staying in the Einzberen family's stronghold in Fuyuki City, and the Einzberen Forest is right.
But now that you're here, there's a subtle deviation in the next plot.
In this way, the weight of his 'foreknowledge' words will also be reduced, and at the same time, it will interfere with the tightness of the contract between himself and the night of the wild goose.
Was it just a mistake of judgment that brought things to the point where they had to be re-engineered?
Suddenly, Alice Phil, who ran out of the ward, looked at the two with some doubt and fear.
What's wrong?
Holding Alice Phil's hand, she paused before speaking
"I just monitored the vicinity of the Einz Bellen Forest through clairvoyance, after all, it is our stronghold, and Miss Maiya will also go there to rest for a while after that, but I saw this."
After confirming that there was no one in the surrounding hallway, Alice Phil took out a crystal ball, and in it, a middle-aged wizard with a group of children appeared.
"It's the Servant I met today!"
Saber clenched her right hand and stared at the person inside the crystal ball, and she shifted her gaze to the nearby children again.
Looking up, Caster looked this way.
Already aware of the surveillance here?
Immediately after, his words came from inside.
[As I said last night, I have come to see you again, Joan of Arc, Holy Virgin, and I hope we can see each other, these children, too.] 】
Around him, there was a group of teenagers and teenage girls whose pupils had lost focus.
Damn it!
Saber looked at her slightly trembling left hand and her right hand clasped together, and she looked at the two of them with some anxiety.
"I'll rush back and defeat him now."
"No, no."
"What?"
Natsume denied Saber's actions, it was too dangerous, and if he was interfered with and sneak attacked by other heroic spirits on the way, the injured Saber would definitely be in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and it was precisely because of the plot changes that Natsume paid so much attention.
"Compared to defeating that caster, it is more important to attack from the side when the other Heroic Spirits are fighting him, this is the best way to deal with the other Heroic Spirits."
"It's despicable."
"It's tactics."
"Nope! This is an insult to the Heroic Spirit! Dignified battles are the glory of warriors! ”
"It's almost time for you to put away that pride and glory of the 'king', Saber, what did you get by guarding that kind of thing?"
"Are you insulting me?!"
Even though her left hand was injured, it still sank into the palm of her hand under her resentful emotion, slowly whitening.
As Natsume said, Saber did give a lot of things to protect the glory, but didn't everyone move forward with pursuit and protection?
It is because of this belief that we can become strong and powerful!
That one.
Alice Phil interjected, and she pulled Natsume's sleeve with her hand.
"On this note, if I could, I would like to be able to save the children who are being held hostage."
Isn't it?
Alice Phil looked at Natsume and asked her question with a worried look. (To be continued......)
