Chapter 42: The Lion Muppet Battle Plan

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Apart from Lancer, who had been driven out by Illya, the only remaining servants were Assassin and Caster.

Jin Shining Shining can also be counted as one, but now he cannot be called a true heroic spirit.

Now, the Emiya family's faction is the most powerful and weirdest faction in the Holy Grail War in history.

The four Servants and Master, who were originally supposed to be enemies, lived together in peace and harmony.

The first group, berserker-team, Illyasviel and Ilia.

The second group, saber-team, Shirou and Arturia.

The third group, archer-team, Rin and the heroic spirit Emiya.

The fourth group, rider-team, Sakura and Medusa.

Not only that, these people were more or less involved in the last one, which was the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Needless to say, the direct participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War are Saber and Illya.

Rin and Sakura are both the daughters of Tokiomi Tosaka.

Kariya is trying to save Sakura.

Shirou was one of the many orphans created by the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Kiritsugu later adopted him as his adopted son.

The complicated relationship, coupled with the interference of Illya, who was once an outsider.

The Fifth Holy Grail War turned into a complete mess.



"What a bunch of random guys."

"A game! Of course, the more chaotic it is, the more interesting it is. I haven't been this happy for a long time."

"Are you happy? It's not easy to deal with so many heroic spirits gathered together."

"Hmph! You underestimate me too much!"

"Really? Then let me wait and see when you show off your heroic spirit."

"Very good! I like to hear this sentence. I am also very excited! I thought I had missed it. Unexpectedly, they appeared at the same time. Sure enough, the thing that I like, even God

We must give in!"

"Saber and Cas... no, they're Berserker, right? That's a really dangerous combination."

"Haha! Aren't thorny flowers more beautiful?"

Somewhere in Fuyuki City, a middle-aged priest and a young man with an arrogant expression were having such a conversation.



Ilia, who was drinking tea, suddenly nodded sharply.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sneeze.

It's just that because I can't make a sound, this sneeze is also silent.

Naturally, I didn’t summon Archer. (Xiao Ai: I understand everything that needs to be understood. If I don’t understand, Xiao Ai is too lazy to explain. Ah! Archer: Why are you calling me? Xiao Ai: =.=...sneeze

Can not be done?!)

'Huh? What's going on?'

Ilia touched her small nose in confusion.

'Why did you sneeze suddenly? You shouldn't have?'

Illya touched the ground again. The ground that Sakura had cleaned was very clean and there was no dust that could be raised.

'Sick? You're kidding, I'm not a human being, how can I get sick?'

"Saber, can heroic spirits also get sick?"

At this time, Shirou and Saber, who had finished a session of sparring in the dojo, came to the living room to rest.

"Heroic spirits cannot get sick. Shirou, why do you ask?"

Saber, who was sitting in front of the table, still had a serious expression on her face, showing no intention of relaxing.

'Really, it's such a waste to keep a straight face all day even though you have a pretty face.'

Illya sighed silently and began to think about ways to make Saber change her face.

"Didn't you just sneeze suddenly and loudly? Otherwise, I would definitely be hit by you."

During the sparring at the dojo, Saber suddenly sneezed at a critical moment, allowing Shirou to luckily escape the blow.

"...This was my mistake. If it were on the battlefield, I would have died because of that sneeze just now. It seems that not only Shirou, but also my training is insufficient."

Hearing this, Saber's expression dropped slightly, but she became full of fighting spirit again.

“What’s not enough exercise?”

Seeing this, Ilia became interested.

"Endurance! If you can't even hold back a sneeze, you are not a qualified warrior!"

Fortunately, Illya had finished drinking her tea long ago. Otherwise, Shirou, who happened to be sitting opposite Illya, would be in bad luck just because of Saber's words.

Ilia will definitely spray tea all over him. The name is: Ilia brand, green tea flavored mouthwash.

"Saber, you..."

Shirou looked at Saber with a troubled expression. It was really awkward for a girl to say such words in front of him.

At the same time, Shirou also felt sad and lonely.

As a young girl, what Saber thinks about is not fashion and dressing up, but fighting, a fight to the death between you and me.

"Saber, Shirou has something for you. Please close your eyes for a moment and wait."

Illya blinked at Shirou and then placed the text on the table.

"Well? Sister Ilia, what do I have..."

Regarding Shirou's slowness, Illya gave him a fierce glare, causing Shirou to consciously shut up.

"Give it to me? Do you have to close your eyes?"

Although she sensed something fishy in it, Saber still chose to believe Illya's words.

"Don't ask so many questions, just close your eyes obediently!"

Illya nodded and wrote the words.

After Saber closed her eyes as she was told, Ilia took out an item from somewhere and suddenly stuffed it into Shirou's hand.

"Shirou, this is all I can do. If you want Saber to open her heart, the rest is up to you."

Patting Shirou on the shoulder, Illya walked out of the living room without even giving him a chance to ask questions.

"Shirou, is this what you want to give me?"

"Uh...this is Yi...no, it's what I want to give to you, don't you like it?"

"...No, I like it very much. Thank you, Shirou."

"That's good...saber, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"W-what are you talking about? Shirou? How could I be beautiful? I don't have Rin's appearance and Sakura's figure. For me, who is all muscle, the word beautiful doesn't fit."

"Saber, what are you talking about? Of course a girl like you looks beautiful when she smiles!"

"Me? Girl?...I..."

After hearing this point in the conversation, Illya stopped eavesdropping very knowingly.

'Lion Muppet Operation Plan Successful!'

As for the "plan to change Saber's face", that's just an incidental matter. (Heavy fog)

After making a V-sign, Ilia walked towards her bedroom.

Ilyasviel was sleeping soundly on Illya's bed at this time.

Now that the magic power of the Holy Grail has almost been restored.

As the instrument of the Holy Grail, the magic power in Ilyasviel's body gradually became turbulent.

The most direct manifestation is that Illyasviel's sleeping time has obviously become longer, and he still feels sleepy at every turn.

Likewise, fragments of the Holy Grail were implanted in his body.

As a false Holy Grail instrument, Sakura also showed some symptoms of physical discomfort.

It's just not as serious as Ilyasviel.

'Eliya.'

The moment Ilia entered the door, Gaia's spirit had already made contact.

'How is little Elijah?'

Illya gently touched Gaia's head. She leaned over and sat down, looking at Illyasviel who was lying on the bed.

'It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy.'

'Really? That's good.'

After adjusting Illyasviel's sleeping position slightly, he gently wiped away the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Illyasviel's calm face, Ilia was a little lost in thought.

'Old man Ahad, should I thank you? Or should I resent you?'

Thank you, because old man Ahad completely transformed Ilyasviel, so that she no longer has to feel the pain that Irisviel once felt.

The resentment is towards the tragedy that must have happened to Irisviel, caused by the old man Ahad himself.

'Well, why are you thinking about all this now? Everything will be over soon, soon. Little Elijah, you will definitely survive as a human being just like your mother wished.'

Touching Ilyasviel's sleeping little face, Ilia showed a sincere smile.
