"Is it possible that that guy just usurped the conceptual core of the divine beast?"
Tia looked at the servant standing in the center, the Avenger Alcides, and asked everyone calmly.
"Or are you guys... planning to deal with that guy?"
"Of course."
Hippolyta responded like this, and she took a step forward on her horse.
"That guy... is my enemy. Stopping that guy is the reason why I stay here."
"..."
Theia looked at Hippolyta without saying a word.
Within these few hours, the quality of the spirit base further improved.
This is probably the result of carefully refining the magic power of thirty Masters in order not to cause any rejection.
However, even so, Tia did not believe that Hippolyta could defeat the demon who could usurp even thunder.
"Are you ready for Yu Shai's awakening? Or...?"
Then, Tia turned her attention elsewhere.
Lying on the ground under the protection of Mr. El-Melloi's magicians, the body of the Small Holy Grail that had lost the breath of God—Filia.
There is also the figure of the girl crouching aside and holding her head—Sajo Ayaka.
"That thing...will it really become a companion of humans?"
"Don't you think it's weird? The guy who carries two heroic spirits on his back and can continuously fire such a large-scale Noble Phantasm...is the guy who can pour out infinite magic power...is a normal existence?"
············
Lenise El-Melloi Archizolti once said something like this.
"The biggest loss of tangible assets is the loss of 'that thing'... Even other monarchs cannot easily acquire it. After all, before the completion of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid (Trimmau), 'that thing' is real.
El-Melloi's supreme attire."
The previous head of the El-Melloi family - Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.
The girl was a relative of the monarch who once killed Fuyuki, she said calmly.
"That's right... the 'thing' that the previous generation of family masters lost in the battle of Fuyuki was the most disastrous of El-Melloi's five fatal losses."
Lenise seemed very happy, and as if she was testing the audience, she explained 'that thing'.
"The magic power that can turn the entire building into another world is continuously squeezed out for several weeks... It is a masterpiece that triggers interaction with the three-piece set, and the natural recovery power of the magic power will also increase. Ermei hundreds of years ago
The finished product of the Luo family that transformed the highest-level illusions unearthed, the complete form of a magic furnace that is inexhaustible no matter how much it is absorbed... Although it does not have an extraordinary personality, its output alone is
Being able to overwhelm others is precisely because it is the El-Melloi family that praises everything, so it reflects the extreme of simple is best. However, now it may be the opposite, and it is equipped with a very unique supreme gift.
"
It was obvious that her belongings were lost, but the girl said happily.
The mercury maid standing next to her is the current 'Supreme Dress' of the El-Melloi family - the magic dress that symbolizes the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower.
"'Things that only have magic power lack beauty.' That’s what the previous head of the family said, so as a new gift, Trimmau... also known as 'Volumen hydrargyrum' was born."
This means that the 'thing' the girl is talking about is a masterpiece that rivals the joking existence of a high-performance mercury lifeform that has both its own self and the ability to assume humanoid form.
"Hey, my sworn brother set up the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid in the name of making it convenient for me to use. In the eyes of the previous head of the family, wouldn't it be said to be a deterioration?"
Having said this, Lenis curled her lips and brought the topic back to 'the supreme ceremonial dress of the past'.
"...Of course you know about the spiritual tomb Albion, right? The last dragon that sneaked into the underground with the Fantasy Land as its goal, died of exhaustion on the way, and turned into a huge maze. At that time, from
Excavated from the underground labyrinth where it was born, the fantasy that the El-Melloi family used every means to obtain in its heyday is the raw material of the magic furnace... To be honest, the former head of the family left England with such a thing to participate in the Far East.
During a magic ceremony, I guess he might have been carried away by the color and lost his mind."
Lenis was holding black tea and happily sarcastic about her seniors.
"But... the workshop was transformed into another world... that is to say, when Fuyuki's hotel collapsed, it was taken away by someone. The thief who was eyeing this item also died unexpectedly, and everything related to it was completely lost.
information."
At this time, Lenis stopped speaking and asked the audience questions instead.
"If you have also collected information about the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, haven't you heard of it?"
"The case of the tragic murder of a magician and his wife in Chana Apartment in Gengizaka."
Lenis said this while enjoying the black tea with a sadistic smile on her face.
"Although it's not as good as the Holy Grail...but there should be some magicians who want to get it even if they start a war, right?"
It's as if magicians are now looking forward to starting stupid fights around 'that thing' somewhere in the world.
Or, just like this moment, I believe there is a battle going on somewhere.
"That, the magic furnace of the three bases——"
············
"That thing...will become the enemy of mankind sooner or later. Just like me..."
Tia made this assertion while gesturing to Ayaka who was squatting on the ground.
However, the one who refuted him was the swordsman standing in front of Ayaka.
"Hey, you look like a prophet and you will be alienated by the people around you. That guy Saint-Germain's predictions have been correct several times, but you are still kept at a distance by everyone!"
"Swordsman..."
"Hey, if Ayakashi really becomes an enemy of mankind, I will be happy to deal with her. However, let me predict it. If things really come to that point, I think the first one to provoke a dispute should be
Isn’t it Ayaka?”
The swordsman who seemed to be talking casually has refined his magic power and is now ready to launch his Noble Phantasm towards Tia in the air.
"Master... Ayakashi will not become the enemy of mankind. I am here to loudly advocate that humans are Ayakashi's enemy. This statement is correct..."
However, the exhausted Ayaka's fingers grasped the swordsman's hand.
"Ayaka?"
"I... am not Ayaka."
Ayaka's eyes and lips trembled, as if in pain and fear.
"I remembered...I, I remembered everything...!"
The remnants of God disappeared, and Ayaka looked down at the sleeping Philia - the 'hint' seemed to be unraveled, and Ayaka continued to be washed away by the torrent of memories emerging in her mind.
She felt weak all over, but she still clenched the swordsman's arm as if she had grasped something—whimpering and speaking out her words.
It's like confessing to a swordsman.
It’s as if he wants to completely deny his past self.
"I...I'm not...Sajo Ayaka!"
"...I...I am...Little Red Riding Hood!"
"I killed...'that person'!"
Everyone was confused when they heard this, and seemed unable to realize what Ayaka was talking about for a moment.
"What are you talking about?" Tohsaka Rin and others asked with a slight frown.
Now they don't have time to conduct detailed guidance and exploration into this child's mind.
After all, they were dealing with an anomaly like Tia.
After all, Ayaka's experience is only understood by herself and the swordsman who is her servant.
However, there is one person who is an exception, and that is a figure who appeared here at some unknown time, but no one noticed it.
It wasn't until he spoke that everyone, including Tia in the sky, realized his existence.
There is no doubt that this person can only be Xuan Hao.
Xuan Hao didn't know when he had passed the guarding swordsman, and came to Ayaka who was holding her head and struggling as if nothing had happened, raised her chin, and said lightly with interest: "So, is this another inhuman thing?
It seems that bringing Bennett here is the right choice."
No one can understand what this man is saying at this moment.
After all, only Xuanhao knew that Bennett, Ayaka Sajo in front of him, and Tia above were actually the same.
In Xuan Hao's view, they are all beings who should not have been born in this world.
Also, trying hard to become a ‘human’ existence.
"Who are you!? What are you talking about!? What do you want to do to Ayaka again!?"
The swordsman on the side was extremely wary of the sudden appearance of the man.
However, he could not act rashly at this moment, because the distance between this man and Ayaka could kill Ayaka at any time.
The cavalrymen on the side were also alert to the man who suddenly appeared among them.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Because she felt a very dangerous feeling from this man. This feeling was unprecedented, even among the gods in the past.
Just now this man appeared at such a close distance without any of them noticing. If the other party had been hostile and attacked, they might have been wiped out just now.
"Are you...Mr. Xuanhao?"
The person who answered everyone's doubts turned out to be Tia in the sky.
This is normal, after all, his birth was the end of Flat.
Although he hadn't really come into this world at that time, he had experienced everything that Flatt had experienced, and even sometimes helped Flatt with some small favors.
Therefore, Tia naturally respects this man who Frat respects from the bottom of his heart.
But after Bennett disappeared, this man disappeared with him.
He originally thought that this man might have left the world with Bennett because of the defeat of Flatt and Bennett, but didn't he expect that he had been overlooking the Holy Grail War?
If there was someone in the world who could pose a threat to herself, the first thing Tia thought of was this mysterious man.
He knew nothing about this man, except that, like Bennett, this man came from outside the world.
Everyone put on a vigilant posture, but no one noticed that one person froze on the spot after seeing Xuan Hao appear and Xuan Hao being called by Tia's name, with an unusual expression on his face.
complex.
"You...you you you...this guy! Why are you here!?"
Finally, this man spoke up.
He was almost pointing at Xuan Hao's figure and roaring.
"Um?"
Xuan Hao turned his head in confusion.
"cold?"
The rest of the people were also extremely confused about this.
"Do you know this man?"
"How come you don't know me? I know this guy who turned into ashes, right!?"
Tohsaka Rin stamped her feet angrily, showing a gesture that was rarely seen in daily life.
But those who are familiar with her will know that the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family pretends to be elegant in daily life. When she was still in Fuyuki, this posture was the true nature of this arrogant eldest daughter.
face.
"Oh? Tohsaka Rin, right...you seem to know me?"
Xuan Hao looked at Tohsaka Rin in front of him with interest and asked.
Things seem to be getting interesting.
In his memory, this was indeed the first time he came to Xingyue's world.
However, the structure of this world is quite complex and the timeline is quite confusing. No matter who appears in what era, it is reasonable.
In other words, in different time and space, is it possible for me to know this woman?
"You guy..." Tohsaka Rin seemed to become even more angry after listening to Xuan Hao's words.
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, she walked up to Xuan Hao in a few steps.
"They all called me by my name! Are you still pretending to be stupid here?"
Everyone looked at this scene in stunned silence.
No one understands what's going on.
They were supposed to be alert to this man who suddenly appeared, but this man... seemed to be an acquaintance of Rin?
No...it seems a bit wrong to say they are acquaintances, because this man doesn't seem to know Rin?
"If I had followed my original temperament, you would have been dead, woman."
Xuan Hao looked indifferently at the woman in front of him who was almost pointing at his nose and smiled softly.
"But, for the sake of making me feel interesting, shall I let you go first?"
As he said that, he made the same move to Ayaka.
He gently reached out and lifted Lin's chin.
"!??"
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
They know Tohsaka Rin's character, and whoever dares to tease this woman will have serious consequences.
However……
At this moment, Tohsaka Rin did nothing but stare at this man, not even getting angry.
In fact, it's not that Tohsaka Rin doesn't want to move, but that she can't move now.
This man is still as arrogant as before.
How dare you treat yourself like this!
But there was nothing she could do.
Others may not be able to feel the terror of this man, but she is very clear about it.
If I can't move now, this man must have tampered with it.
But no one noticed the man's movements.
Yes. Everyone present is a genius among geniuses, but still no one noticed the abnormality in Tohsaka Rin at this moment.
There are no shackles, no restraints, no restrictions, and no fluctuations in magic power.
There are only two words to describe this situation.
