(Xiao Ai: Xiao Ai was a bit 9 when I wrote this chapter, so the article may also be a bit 9. Let’s just take a look at it. The culprit who made Xiao Ai lose 9 is in the group.)
When Saber entered the restaurant, a piece of text appeared in front of her eyes.
"Saber, you come to the same place with me. Regarding dealing with Gilgamesh, I have a plan that requires you to cooperate with me."
So, after dinner, Illya and Saber left Emiya's house together and disappeared for a whole night. They both returned early the next morning.
"Holy, do you really don't need to practice more? I think there are still many shortcomings."
Regarding combat matters, Saber is very serious about everything.
"No, even if we practice for a whole day, how much improvement do you think we will make?"
Illya waved her hand and rejected Saber's proposal.
"Besides, the only thing we can practice is the coordination of movements. We have already done this very well. The next step is the coordination of consciousness, which is not something that can be accomplished overnight. So, it will be up to us then.
How was your performance on the spot!"
"But……"
Saber wants to say something else.
"Okay, Saber, you don't need to say more. There is a Chinese saying that goes, 'When a car reaches the mountain, there will be a road, and when a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight.'. All we can do is believe that we will be able to find a way.
!Then, victory will surely be waiting for us at the other end of the road!"
Ilia didn't worry too much, she waved her hand and walked directly into the big house.
"Do you believe in yourself?"
Saber lowered her head, looked at her hands and clenched her fists, then raised her head with a determined expression.
"Yes! For victory!"
The owner of the Sword of Victory is once again full of persistence and determination for victory.
…
The day passed quickly, and the Emiya family was not as lively as before. Everyone was sitting quietly making preparations.
When night falls, it's time to set off.
Everyone spontaneously gathered in the living room and made brief final preparations before leaving.
"Sakura, you don't have to go this time, just stay at home."
When the time for action came, Illya stopped Sakura who was about to set off with everyone.
"Why? Sister Ilia, I also hope to be able to help everyone!"
This time Sakura did not obey Illya's arrangements.
Sakura is actually very stubborn. Once she decides something, she will stick to it.
When everyone is facing a dangerous battle, of course she has to take action.
"Are you feeling very uncomfortable now?"
The short line of text written by Illya immediately made Sakura quiet down.
"You have to maintain normal actions while enduring the feeling in your body. Is this your limit? Then, don't force it."
"But, I..."
Sakura's words were interrupted here. Illya's small hand was gently placed on the side of her neck. After using a little magic, Sakura passed out.
"Rider, Sakura will be left to you. Protect her."
After killing Sakura, Rider solemnly nodded to Illya.
"Listen up everyone!"
At the gate of Emiya's house, the real battle meeting began.
"The battlefield this time is under Ryudou Temple, in the large underground cavity. I have asked Caster in advance to completely disrupt the flow of magic power on the ground of Ryudong Temple. In this way, Gilgamesh has to move the location where the Holy Grail descended.
Choose a stable area underground, closer to the dragon veins."
"A big hole in the ground? If I remember correctly, it collapsed in the previous Holy Grail Wars?"
Rin is relatively familiar with the standing style of the Holy Grail War.
"It collapsed. However, I asked Caster to spend some time and clean up the place again. Because of this, Caster complained that I used the heroic spirits as hard labor."
Illya shrugged her shoulders easily, but it was Caster who was doing the hard work.
"Moreover, in that kind of closed space, it is much easier for Caster to set up the barrier. In this way, with the barrier blocking us, no matter how much trouble we make inside, it will not endanger the outside world.
That’s it. In other words, you can go ahead and do it!”
This time, everyone completely understood Ilia's intention, and they all nodded in understanding.
"Let me arrange our respective combat missions."
Illya waved her hand and took out the origin-logic, and then a virtual sandbox floated out on the unfolded page.
"Sakura and Rider are staying at home. With Rider's mobility, it will be no problem for us to rush to our rescue quickly from here."
Illya nodded briefly at the location of the Emiya family on the sand table, and then moved her finger to the location of Ryudou Temple.
"Caster is here to maintain the barrier. Gilgamesh will probably be waiting for our arrival in this area, which is the widest place in the underground cave. Saber and I will fight against him here. Rin and
Shirou goes around, that's the place closest to the dragon's veins, and it's also the best place to place the Holy Grail."
Then, Illya looked up at Rin and Shirou.
"Listen up! I'm not asking you to destroy the Holy Grail. I'm asking you to deal with Kotomine Kirei, who will definitely be guarding the Holy Grail. You know, the Holy Grail is related to little Ilya's life.
, you must not try to destroy it quickly."
"About Illyasviel's life? You have never told us this!"
Rin screamed in surprise.
"That's because there's no need to tell you. So what if you know? Can you alone save her? Even I can't do it alone. That's why I'm here to cooperate with you.
.do you understand?"
Illya's purpose is actually very simple. Making the Holy Grail War interesting is just incidental. The most important thing is to save Illyasviel's existence.
"Understood!"
Shirou has gradually matured after experiencing what happened during this time.
He didn't ask Illya again why he didn't tell them the truth.
Shirou can now calmly see his own powerlessness.
And hold on to the idea of becoming stronger.
"Remember, Kirei is not an easy person to deal with. He was once one of the most outstanding agents."
"I know that I will never let my guard down. After all, he has lied to me for so many years..."
Seeing Ilya's reminder, Rin gritted her teeth bitterly.
"That's good, Saber and I will go ahead. You go find Caster. She has a path that can avoid the battlefield and go around to the Holy Grail."
The text appeared for a few seconds, waiting for everyone to read it.
Illya set off with Saber and disappeared from the sight of Rin and Shirou after a few jumps.
"Saber, now we have to fight side by side again! Just like when we fought against Caster together in the last Holy Grail War."
While moving, Illya and Saber talked about the past.
"Yes. But I couldn't help much. At that time, my left hand was stabbed by Diarmuid's magic spear, and I couldn't use the Noble Phantasm."
Saber nodded and talked about the gains and losses of that battle.
"Really, why do you care so much? If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to kill that monster. Besides, the situation is different this time. Without your cooperation, I can't fight against Gilgamesh.
Not 100% sure.”
Illya shook her head, feeling a little helpless at Saber's seriousness.
"Furthermore, isn't the thing taken out from Shirou's body something that only you can use? That's our other trump card! So, this critical moment is in your hands. You are the main force, and I am
Help! Stage fright is not acceptable in the face of battle!"
"holy(holy)...thank you."
Saber glanced at Ilia gratefully.
She knew Illya's intention.
In fact, the item in her hand is more like insurance than a trump card.
After her cooperation with Ilia failed, it was an insurance against Gilgamesh who used his power.
Illya's slightly exaggerated statement was exactly what made Saber understand her role.
Let Saber know that her help is very necessary.
Because Illya knew that with Saber's character, she would never allow herself to be unable to help at all.
The king is the one who controls the overall situation, not the one who just waits and watches.
