When An Nuo walked out of the quiet room, his expression was quite wonderful.
All I can say is that the truth of things is often... very unexpected.
He looked at Shirou Emiya in the distance, and then at Archer standing next to him.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I compare it a little, and it's really similar...
I am still too good at recognizing people's looks... If Lawrence were here, with his artist's eye, he might be able to easily identify Archer and Shirou Emiya...
In fact, he is alone.
--etc.
Although Lawrence is not here now...but Lawrence's son is.
Adrosson…
Annuo cast his gaze in the direction of Adrosson.
Adroson smiled at Anno.
...So have you identified it yet...
Annuo was a little entangled, but felt that there was no need to be entangled in this kind of matter. He sighed and shook his head, patted Archer beside him on the shoulder, and then walked towards Shirou Emiya first.
"Um...don't turn on the stove for him."
Archer hesitated for a moment and said to Annuo's back.
Annuo looked a little tired and waved his hands behind his back, not sure whether he agreed or not.
...
"How's it going? Is there anything strange?"
Kotomine Kirei put his hands behind his back, looked at Justeza Rizreich von Einzbern, who was floating slowly in the middle of the Great Holy Grail magic formation, and asked Bazett.
"Not perceptually."
"But the situation over at the Little Holy Grail has not stabilized yet, and it is not convenient for us to take action here..."
"In fact, theoretically speaking, now is the best time to disintegrate the Great Holy Grail."
Bazett put his hands on his hips and clenched his fists.
Disintegration... In fact, this kind of thing sounds simple, but in fact it is still difficult to achieve.
After all, the thing in the Great Holy Grail... no one knows exactly what it is, and no one can be sure of what will happen after taking action on the Great Holy Grail.
Kotomine Kirei didn't respond, still looking at Justisa, not knowing what he was thinking.
"By the way, I remember that you were in contact with that friend of yours, the monarch from the Modern Magic Department?"
Bazett raised his head, glanced at Kotomine Kirei, and licked his lips.
She is referring to one of the twelve current monarchs of the Clock Tower, the modern magician monarch from the El-Melloi family, that is, the monarch El-Melloi II.
This person's experience can be considered quite bumpy and strange, but he is well-known within the Clock Tower as a teacher.
This monarch had participated in the last time, the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago, but at that time he was better known as Weber Velvet. He was a "whimsical" person who was famous among the student community.
"Famous" poor student.
By the way, his teacher at the time was named Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald. He was the previous head of the El-Melloi family. He also participated in the last Holy Grail War and had a close relationship with Weber Velvet.
The ending was different. The previous monarch unfortunately died in the Fourth Holy Grail War. It is said that this incident has a lot to do with the fact that Waver Velvet has now become the new monarch of the El-Melloi family.
Bazett was not interested in the specific inside story, but this person was one of the few close friends of Kotomine Kirei - she was able to learn about the existence of such a person mainly because of Kotomine Kirei.
"We are in touch."
Kotomine Kirei nodded concisely.
"How about it? Does the monarch have any thoughts on this incident? Or can he come over to support us?"
Now that airplanes exist, it doesn't take long to fly here from the UK...
"He had things he needed to deal with, so he didn't have time to come over, but he gave a certain level of advice."
Weber has also encountered some troubles recently. Although he wanted to come and help, he really couldn't leave, so he could only give some suggestions based on his own knowledge.
"Delimit the scope of the battle as much as possible, don't let the malignant substances flow out, and take the lead in creating rituals or positions that can resist the curse on a large scale."
"And... give full support to Saber Anno."
"What the hell?"
Bazett raised an eyebrow.
Full support to Saber Anno - what the hell kind of advice is this?
"Because he participated in the last Holy Grail War, he must have been deeply impressed by the Noble Phantasm output of Anno, the Servant."
Kotomine Kirei smiled casually.
"And Anno himself can resist the curse. From this perspective, he is indeed the most suitable servant for this battle."
"...Is this so?"
Think about it too.
After all, Saber Anno was the servant who theoretically won the final victory in the last Holy Grail War.
There were many monsters in the last Holy Grail War. Archer Gilgamesh and Rider Iskandar were all very powerful monsters. Assassin Samura Anno was also able to compete with several other monsters to a certain extent due to his increased popularity.
On a par with that, Berserker swallowed the boy drunk, and the demon that ate the Master also caused a considerable amount of disaster.
Being able to fight his way out among these monsters and achieve the final theoretical victory is enough to prove how strong Annuo is.
"So - let's wait patiently."
"Waiting...good news from over there."
Kotomine Kirei turned around and walked out.
...
A night of silence.
Illya slept peacefully all night, and opened her eyes at dawn the next day.
"Um, uh uh..."
The expression on her face was still a bit confused.
"Wake up."
Kazuko's voice was as cold as ever.
"Um...huh?"
"Ah - you're the one!"
Illya was frightened and woke up. She sat up straight on the bed in the guest room and looked at Akuko with a horrified expression.
Kazuko:......
Previously, Illya commanded Berserker to attack Shirou Emiya's stronghold. Akuko attacked Illya in order to protect her property... Illya was scared to death at that time.
Looking at it now, the original impact has not been eliminated at all...
"If you wake up, go and wash yourself. Your condition looks pretty good."
"Everyone else is waiting for you outside, don't keep us waiting too long."
Kazuko closed the book in her hand, stood up, and after saying these two sentences, she left Illya, who was bewildered, and walked out alone.
"......well?"
...
"I no longer have that depressing feeling in my heart..."
Clutching her chest, Illya breathed heavily.
Although I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, but...
