Then hope not to meet again.

The farewell of the unfortunate and, of another, unfortunate man.

At this moment, after paying some fees, Natsume came out of the hospital, changed into a set of clothes he had just bought, and took out his mobile phone, which he was used to.

This time, the person who called was not Maiya Kuyu, but Alice Phil, who was with Saber.

After a few rings, it was connected, and a somewhat tired female voice came.

"It's Ellie."

"What's wrong?"

Something about where Lancer is located.

After telling Alice Phil all the information and specifying their location, Natsume, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Alice Phil and Saber have been informed to go to the abandoned place, their own side is about to begin.

The second time I dialed the phone, Maiya Kuyu's voice rang on the other end.

"Did you catch it?"

"Well, Kenneth has been caught. Al Meloy. Aqipolud's fiancée, Sora. Nazelle. Sofia Li, imprisoned in the car. ”

"You go there and wait for me, and then we meet."

"Understood."

Hanging up the phone, Natsume put away his phone and walked forward.

The action to be carried out now is to take the story to the next level by blackmailing Kenneth with Kenneth's fiancée Sora, so that Lancer can end himself.

Thinking of this, Natsume also realizes that Alice Phil and Kuyu Maiya will also be in danger, hoping that that person will act according to his orders.

After all, despite the defeat of Servant, Alice Phil as a container will lose her sense of self because of this, and what Natsume needs is a quick solution. Get the Holy Grail directly.

But it won't be that simple.

And Natsume also forgot the most important point. That's the strongest Heroic Spirit. The existence of the Hero King.

It is impossible for him to defeat the Hero King, the opponent's treasure is very strong, and the strength is also very powerful, and it is impossible to defeat it face-to-face, so Natsume has to follow the plot flow and let the Hero King be excluded from the Holy Grail.

Now that we've gotten there, it's impossible to go back.

Picking up speed, Natsume reached out and found a taxi after passing through the driveway.

Open the door and go inside. After pointing out the location, Natsume fell into thought again.

Convince Kenneth to believe in himself through a forced essay, and then directly deal with Lancer, and change the plot again after returning to the plot, allowing Maiya Kuyu to leave Fuyuki City with Alice Phil.

Everything is perfectly planned, just follow the steps and you can get the results you want.

Looking out the window at the receding scenery, Natsume took a few deep breaths, which was a kind of relaxation before the battle.

Suddenly, he noticed something.

The surrounding scenery has changed, and this is not the road to the destination. It's another unfamiliar region.

What's going on!

Natsume reached out and slapped the cab, and the driver turned around. An old face was revealed.

"Little ghost, we've met."

“―――？！”

Natsume reached into his arms with his left hand, grasped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and took a fighting stance in the cramped carriage.

Don't worry.

The person who spoke was still an old man in the cab, and he was dirty with inkstones.

Instead of posing for the car, he let a group of dolls-like things manipulate it, and he moved to the seat on the other side, his hands in his long sleeves.

With an expression of not wanting to fight, Kiriri's dirty inkstone looked at the building in front of him, and then accosted Natsume.

"All said, the old man doesn't want to fight, if he wants to fight, do you think I will choose to drive you into a trap? What are you kidding, the old man would have done it a long time ago if he wanted to kill you, but I didn't. ”

That's because.

"The old man is very interested in your previous topic."

"I'm not sure if that's true."

"But you said it!"

Somewhat excited, Jian Tong Yan rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand that he took out, looking tired.

Natsume didn't know what he was trying to do, but if he came for that matter, Natsume didn't really have much information to tell him.

The only thing Natsume can prove now is that he is taking a gamble when he threatens Kenneth.

However, the other party didn't know Natsume's actions, so he explained slowly.

"The old man will take you to your destination sooner or later, but now it's just a long detour, so can you continue the previous topic?"

"I don't know much."

Laughing, she said after pulling her hands back into her sleeves again

"Do you know the Little Holy Grail?"

The prize for the victors of the Holy Grail War is the 'Holy Grail' that the seven groups of magicians and the Heroic Spirits compete for, and has the power to achieve no matter what the wish can be achieved immediately.

In fact, it is nothing more than a device for the preservation of the souls of the dead Servants, and a necessary device for the achievement of the third magic to stabilize the magical passage between the 'Great Grail' and the present world.

After the Third Holy Grail War, the people of the House of Einzberen learned the lesson of the repeated destruction of the Holy Grail in the previous Holy Grail Wars, and made the little Holy Grail into a 'cyborg' (Homecruz) that could move freely.

They are all known as the 'Saints of Winter' - Rizi Lehi. Justisa. Feng. The image of Einzberren was modeled after the image of the Holy Grail as the 'vessel' on which the Grail depends, so they are also called the 'Grail Keepers' or 'Guardians of the Vessels'. And Alice Phil. Feng. Einzbellen is one such 'puppet'.

So.

"Once all the Heroic Spirits are destroyed, no matter what, the Little Holy Grail will change with it, and the androids who are the Little Holy Grail will also lose everything at that time."

In other words, Alice Fell can't be saved.

In any case, the situation that cannot be achieved.

Immediately after that, the inkstone of the Kiriki said some information about the Great Holy Grail.

It was a large-scale magic circle built under the Enzo Mountain, where the Ryudong Temple was located, and it had the duty to draw the magic necessary for the ritual from the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City and store it.

"Tell me what this is for? Dirty inkstone. ”

"Didn't you say that? I want to know the meaning of those words you said. ”

"Then look at it."

Natsume put away his weapon, and this sentence made the dirty inkstone of Maki pile all the wrinkles together in dissatisfaction.

"You don't want to say it?"

It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't fully understand it.

For this reason, what Natsume has to do now is not to explain this to Kiriri.

Rather, it's --

"I just want to prove it, and what you see with your own eyes will make you more convinced of my true identity and the true purpose of the Holy Grail of this world."

The old man just waited, and after speaking, he waved his hand and let Natsume walk out of the car. (To be continued......)
