"I am...in this Holy Grail War...Caster's master."
Matou Kariya stood at the door of Fuyuki Church with his eyes blank, his pupils not focused on Father Kotomine Rimasa opposite.
"My servants have been eliminated... I hereby apply to you, the respected neutral supervisor, to grant me asylum as I am no longer able to continue competing in this Holy Grail War, and publish it in my name.
.....A statement by the Matou family to withdraw from this Holy Grail War."
"I understand. As a neutral supervisor, I accept your request."
Nodding, Kotomine Rizheng agreed to Matou Kariya's request.
This is exactly his responsibility as a supervisor - to protect the eliminated Master from further persecution.
Of course... in a situation like Kenneth's, it's a different matter.
A master who died directly in battle would naturally not be able to receive shelter.
Turning around, Kotomine Rizheng walked into the church, and Matou Kariya followed him in despair, and walked into the church together.
If nothing goes wrong, after tomorrow morning, Matou Kariya will return to the self-isolated Matou family until the Holy Grail War is fully exposed, and then come out again.
As Matou Kariya himself said, the Matou family has withdrawn from this Holy Grail War and has completely become a neutral party.
Because their master lost, the servants were also eliminated.
"This looks really touching, what do you think, Kirei?"
"The exit of the Master of Caster is both a joy and a pity."
Kotomine Kirei stood on the balcony of the stronghold, looking at the church in the distance with a smile on his face.
In principle, he is also a participant in this Holy Grail War, so he cannot stand with his father. He can only set up his stronghold here, very close to the church.
He watched the entire battle between Caster and Archer.
"That Caster is really...a person who is born to be extremely gentle."
The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were narrowed, as if he was enjoying something.
"I'm going back to my room first. Saber's side, the results will probably come out today."
"We don't want to take advantage of them, but we will definitely be their opponents, won't we?"
Samura turned around and glanced at Kotomine Kirei.
Kotomine Kirei also turned around and looked at Samura.
"You'll help me win, right?"
"certainly."
With a satisfied smile, Zuo Cun walked downstairs.
His "Complete Edition of Heartbeat Memories Guide" is about to be written.
The two Daohuan guys are still in contact with Zuo Cun, so they are very excited and looking forward to the complete version of Zuo Cun's guide.
only......
Saber.
hehe......
I don’t know how long I can survive in this era.
Zuo Cun couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
but--
In the final analysis, you still have to let go, right?
He is not Rider's kind of person. Even if Samura stays in this era, he doesn't have anything in particular that he wants to do. He really just wants to see this era, that's all.
So, I have to leave anyway.
You have already accomplished the most important thing in this world, haven't you?
Touching the mercury sword on his chest, Zuo Cun smiled knowingly.
...
Matou Kariya felt... terrible.
He couldn't forget the scene at that time.
He fell to the ground, and the sense of contract with Manlio had completely disappeared. The golden king stood in front of him, looking down at him with contempt.
"If you hadn't shown some backbone at the last moment, I would have planned to kill you."
"Live on, boy of the Matou family."
"Your life was fought for by Caster... Manlio Fedino Springer."
After saying this, the shining golden king turned and left.
He was left alone, sitting on the stone beach washed by the sea, feeling lost.
The last... backbone?
Perhaps, when Ma Tong Yanye looked up at the magnificent church, he realized what kind of person Manlio really was.
It was also at that moment that he truly realized that as a master... he was not worthy of Manlio, a servant.
——I want to be a master qualified enough to fight alongside you. Perhaps it was because of this thought that at that moment, Matou Kariya raised his hand up as if crazy, roaring and used the last
Two strokes of the Command Seal.
"Caster..."
Sitting somewhere in the back row of the church, Matou Kariya stared blankly at Kotomine Rimasa who was dealing with something, and let out a long sigh.
I... really don't deserve it.
...
"Kiritsugu, the familiar has sent a message."
Lancer has completely disappeared, and the bodies of Kenneth and Sora have been properly placed by Anno.
Unless he is an unforgivable villain, Annuo will basically not let his enemies be exposed in the wilderness. He will give his enemies the last dignity.
Although to be honest, this appearance is of no use.
"Did something happen to the other group?"
Emiya Kiritsugu stood up from where he sat and walked towards Kuu Maiya.
Annuo stood aside, not knowing what he was thinking.
"A battle broke out between the Caster team and Archer who had no master. The result was a disastrous defeat for the Caster team and Caster's withdrawal. Caster's master, Kariya Matou, has now sought the protection of a third party."
"...Is this so?"
This is undoubtedly good news.
Counting Lancer who was just killed by them, three servants have already withdrawn from the Holy Grail War.
