Chapter 32: Saber, do you want to restore your strength?
After calling Saber back, Illya and the other three got into the car without even saying hello, and Saber drove the Mercedes Benz 300 SL directly away from the river embankment.
Regarding the somewhat rude behavior of the three people, everyone present did not say anything, because they also knew that the moment Caster was eliminated, everyone became enemies again.
Besides, anyone present here who has listened to Illya’s explanation about the magic-cohere-gun (magic convergence gun) will understand that now that the sea demon has been eliminated and the magic in the space is no longer polluted, Illya
It only takes a short time for Ya to charge up and attack them.
Leaving without doing anything was a sign of sincerity to their "former" allies.
On the moving Mercedes-Benz 300SL, the light electronic sound rang again. Irisviel looked at the phone in her hand with some embarrassment. After all, they did not carry out Emiya Kiritsugu's plan this time.
plan.
"Irisviel, give it to me, I'll talk to Kiritsugu."
Seeing this, Illya took the phone from Irisviel and pressed the answer button.
"It's me, holy."
"...Really? I won't say much more about this matter. After all, I am not your master."
After a moment of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu's deep voice came through the microphone.
"I discovered Lancer's stronghold. In the development zone in the eastern part of Xindu, in the hinterland of the hill where the lumber mill is located, there is an abandoned warehouse there. You guys should come over immediately."
Without wasting any time, Emiya Kiritsugu rushed towards the main purpose of the call.
At this time, Illya looked at Irisviel.
"Okay, but can you please give me some time first? You should know that after Caster was killed, Irisviel's current physical condition... I need to take her back to the base to adjust."
"...I understand, one hour, I'll give you one hour."
After saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu simply hung up the phone again.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing Illya put down the phone, Saber, who was in the driver's seat, asked.
"Well, Kiritsugu discovered Lancer's stronghold and asked us to rush there."
"real?!"
"But, Saber, let's go back to the base first."
"Why?"
Illya pointed her finger at Irisviel, and then Saber noticed that Irisviel's face was pale and bloodless, and she was frequently wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Irisviel's body needs to be treated again, and..."
"and?"
"Well...Saber, do you want to use all your strength to have a fun duel with Lancer?"
Ilia paused before asking Saber a question.
"certainly!"
Saber answered directly without hesitation, but she did not understand the full meaning of Illya's words.
"Huh? So little Illya has a way to restore Saber's left hand?"
Because Irisviel understood what Illya meant, she asked in surprise.
"What?"
Even Saber was a little surprised now. After all, that curse was a very powerful curse, otherwise it wouldn't have become the Noble Phantasm of the heroic spirit.
"Yes! This is a method I just thought of before, but this method requires the support of the 'temple', so whether it is Irisviel's problem or Saber's problem, it is necessary when returning to the base. Kiritsugu also gave one
Hours of time are enough!”
Illya said matter-of-factly. Although the way to restore Saber's strength was not something she had just thought of now, in order to make the fight between the "Sword Knight" and the "Gun Knight" more exciting, Illya didn't mention it until now.
come out.
"Okay! Saber, we will be setting up base soon!"
"learn!"
Irisviel and Saber's mood suddenly became high.
"Ah!!! Saber, don't be so fast! There is still a lot of time! Drive safely!!!"
Then Illya's screams came out from inside the Mercedes-Benz 300SL again.
――――Scene change――――
In Miyama Town, Fuyuki City, a speeding classic car made a gorgeous sharp left turn and stopped accurately at the door of a private house.
Then two women got out of the car. After quickly opening the back seat door, they pulled a little girl who looked a little panicked and ran towards the gate of the mansion without any explanation.
If someone had witnessed this moment, they would probably have thought it was a kidnapping incident and went to the police.
(Ding! The loli abduction incident happened! Illya was abducted!
Ilia:...Hey! You are not actually prompted by the system...
Ding! I was prompted by the system!
Illya: Okay then...must kill! The author is a sister-controller!
Author: Ding! Nonsense! I am a loli control! Sister Yu is so loveless!
Illya: Heh...heh...
Ding! Just now, that was a message from the author...
Illya: Do you think I will believe it?
Author: I'm sorry! Lady Illya! I was wrong!
Ilia: If you ding again, the system will prompt you again!
Author: The villain doesn’t dare anymore! Spare the villain!
Illya:もんどうむよう!
Iliao－_－#)=o)tot)
Author: Long live loli! Ah... Such a disgusting feeling...?☆
Narrator: I, Hu Hansan, am back! The author was shot by Ilia and turned into a star in the sky.
Iliao－_－#)=o)tot)
Narrator: Ah...what a disgusting feeling...?☆
Behind the scenes: I'm back. The narrator was shot by Ilia and turned into stars in the sky.
Ilia:...I don’t care anymore!!!)
In the "Temple? Holy Light Prayer Hall", Irisviel once again experienced the comfort of being bathed in light. After moving her body, Irisviel happily hugged Illya.
"Well...this feeling is very comfortable no matter how many times I experience it! Okay, little Illya, just concentrate on lifting Saber's curse!"
"Well! I understand!... Alice, can you stop hugging me!"
Illya felt very speechless in Irisviel's arms.
"What? Little Ilia, do you hate me hugging you?"
Seeing Irisviel's expression on the verge of tears, Illya really wanted to point at God and ask, "It's all my fault!"
"No, it's not! If you hold her like this, there's no way I can help Saber lift the curse!"
"Oh, okay."
After hearing this explanation, Irisviel stopped looking like she was about to cry and loosened her arms around Illya.
"Ahem...Saber, let's get started. No matter what happens later, don't move. Do you understand?"
Saber, who didn't know how to get in the conversation from the beginning, nodded quickly as if she was being forgiven by Illya's words.
"OK!"
"Well, now you stand in front of the cross like Irisviel."
Then Illya asked Irisviel to make room for Saber to stand.
"Saber, you know that I can use magic, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you should know that the magic arts are best at 'exorcism', 'blessing' and 'purification', right?"
"Well, I don't know much, but I still know these few points."
"That's enough! I think you think I'm going to use 'purification' to deal with the curse on you, right?"
"Isn't it true? Apart from this, I can't think of any other way you can do it."
"Well... let's put it this way, the 'Destroyed Yellow Rose' is a very powerful curse, and 'purification' cannot remove it, so..."
At this time, Illya put her hand on the sacred shackle. Then several chains of light appeared and flew towards the wound on Saber's left hand.
Because of Illya's previous instructions, Saber did not dodge, but just allowed the chain of light to penetrate into her wound.
With the help of the magic power of the "Temple", a black substance was wrapped around the chain of light and pulled out. Saber's wound disappeared in an instant. However, this black substance was very restless and wanted to
Returning to Saber's body again, struggling desperately in the entanglement of the chains of light.
"See, not only is there no way to purify it, but this curse is also very directional. Even if it is stripped out, it will try its best to return to the host. So the only way to use 'transfer' here...and
The transfer object is me!"
Following Ilia's words, the chain of light pulled the cursed substance onto Ilia's body like lightning.
"Well……"
Then Ilia squatted down, clutching her left shoulder in pain.
At this moment, Saber smelled the smell of blood, which was still very fresh, coming from where Ilia was covering her left shoulder.
Saber quickly stepped forward and lifted the left sleeve of Ilia's nun's uniform, and then she opened her mouth in surprise.
"What, actually..."
There, bright red blood was flowing down the slender white arm, constantly seeping into Illya's sleeves. However, because Illya's battle nun uniform was black, it was not easy to see the blood seeping into it.
come out.
"Holy, you..."
Looking at Ilia who looked a little pale, Saber opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
"Okay! It doesn't matter. I'm not like you. If I can't use my left hand, I can't use the Noble Phantasm. You know that my class is 'caster', so my strength is magic, not close combat. Even if I can't use my left hand, I can't use it."
It doesn’t matter.”
After stopping the blood flow from the wound, Illya waved her hand to Saber indifferently.
"...I owe you a favor!"
Hearing this, Saber was silent for a moment, and then looked at Ilia firmly.
"Uh... forget it, just do whatever you want!"
Illya was stunned, and then waved her hand again. Although Saber's reaction was a bit unexpected, she thought it would be good to make the "King" owe her a favor.
Irisviel, who had been watching all this silently from the side, had a very complicated mood at this time. She didn't know whether to be happy for the alliance spirit that Ilia finally showed, or to worry about Ilia's injuries.
